THE OLD
FRENCH WAY OF MANAGING TREATIES.

SIR,

Since you tell me that you do not well understand French, especially
that old dialect, which Comines wrote; and that you are willing to
have an account of the treaty which was made betwixt our Edward
the Fourth and Lewis the Eleventh of France, by the intervention of
some mean fellows; and that you desire likewise to be informed of
the intrigues of the great constable of France, who played with all
sides, and was the chief trickster of that time; I am willing to oblige
you, and am satisfied you will be pleased with the diversity of scenes
that the story presents to your view.

— —À

Iya treaty, which Comines gives an account of so much to the
dishonour of our nation, was first set on foot to publick appear-
ance by an ordinary fellow, servant to a gentleman of the French King’s
houshold, who had not above twenty crowns salary per annum, himself;
therefore, I can suppose the servant to have been no more than a foot-
man. This fellow was.taken near St. Quintin, by the English, when
they marched up to the town in hopes of being received into it without
Opposition, according to promise by the Count de St. Paul, Great
Constable of France, who was the chief trickster of his time, but lost
his head for it at last, as you shall hear in its place. The Tootman
being brought before King Edward the Fourth, and the Duke of Bur-
gundy, one of the predecessors to the house of Austria, who was his
. ally in this war against France, they examined him ; after which the
King ordered him to be set at liberty, since he was the first prisoner they

had taken in this expedition. As the fellow was going, the Lord
Howard and Stanley give him a noble, and bid him in the stile of those
times recommend them to the good grace of the King his master, if he
cøuld have access to speak to him. :

The fellow made haste to the French King, who was then at Com-
piegne, and found access to deliver the message. Lewis XI. took him
at first for a-spy, because his master's brother was in the service of the
Duke of Britany, who was also in alliance with the King of England
and Duke of Burgundy, and therefore ordered him to be kept in custody
that night. Abundance of people had liberty however to talk with
him, and finding him speak with so much assurance, they gave it as
their opinion, that the King ought to allow him a further hearing.
Next morning betimes the Kingsent for him, and, after examining him
more thoroughly, ordered him still to be kept in custody.

As the King went to dinner, he was full of thoughts about this matter,
whether he should send to the King of England or not? And, before
he sat down, whispered Comines in the car, that he remembered the
English herald had told him, that, when the King of England landed,
he needed not send to him for a pass-port, but might direct any messen-
ger to the said Lords Howard and Stanley. [This mystery you will find
unravelled in the course of the story.] The King, having spoke thus,
sat down, and ruminating a little, he whispered again to Comines, bid
him rise up, and seek for one who was servant to the Lord Halles, and
ask him if he durst undertake to go to the English army in the habit of
an herald; Comines found out tlie man, and asked what the King com-
manded him, but was perfectly amazed when ht saw the fellow, for he
had neither mein nor behaviour fit for such an undertaking, nor had.
the King ever spoke to him but once; Comines owns though, that the
man had sense, and a very graceful and smooth way ofspeaking. ‘The
servant was so much surprised when Comines spoke to him, that he fell
on his knees as if he would have dropped down dead, so that he had
much ado to keep him from falling into a swoon, the proposal was so
amazing to one in his circumstances. Comines, to encourage him,
promised him a post and money, and told him, that he needed not be
afraid, for the motion came from the English, kept him to dine with him,
and instructed him what he should do. In the mean time the King
sent for Comines, who gave him an account of the man, and advised
him to some others that he thought more proper; the King would not
hear of this, but went and talked with the fellow himself, and having
animated him by promise of a great reward, he taught him his lesson;
but wasso hard put toit to rig him out on a sudden, that he was forced
to take a banner from one of his trumpets, to make him a herald's coat,
and to borrow a badge from a herald belonging to the admiral, for the
King had none of his own there, and so mounted him with his habili-
ments, put up in afine bag fixed to the bow of his saddle, till he should
come to the English camp, which was but eight miles distant. Thus he
sent him a-going unknown to any body but Comines, and the Lord
Villiers, his master of the horse.

. The fellow, according to instructions, came to the English camp,
and, putting on his coat of arms, was brought to the King’s tent; told

those in waiting, That lie was sent from the King of France to the King
of England, and was ordercd to address himself to the Lords Howard and
Stanley to be wtroduced. The King being at dinner, this new vamped
herald was carried to another tent, “where he had his belly-full of more
‘substantial food than French kickáhaws; and, when the King had
dined, the herald was brought before him, and delivered his message
thus: * The King of France had of a long time coveted his Majesty's
friendship, and that their two realms might live in peace; that, since
his master came to the crown, he had never undertaken any war directly
against the King, or King of England; and, though he had entertained
the Earl of W aedi it was only against the Duke of Burgundy, and
not against him. He likewise said, that the Duke had mvited his
Majesty beyond sea, only that he might be able to make the better terms
for himself ; and that the rest of the “allies, who concurred with him, had
done 4t to retrieve their own affairs, and to gain their particular ends :
That the winter now drew on; that his master, the King of France, knew
his Majesty had been at great expence, and that there were many in Eng-
land, both of the nobility and gentry, &c. who were eager for war at
home, in favour of the pretenders of Lancaster ; but, if the King of Eng-
land would listen toa treaty, the King his master would do all that was
possible on his part, that both he and his kingdom should have satisfaction,
and that he might be more thoroughly informed of matters. If he would
grant a passport for an hundred horsemen, the King of France would
send ambassadors to him fully instructed; or, if the King of England
had rather that they should meet at a village, half way betwixt both
armies, the King of France would readily agree to it, and send passports
on his side.”

The King of England, and part of his great men, liked these pro-
posals very well, and gave this supposed herald such a passport as he
desired, and a present of four nobles; they also sent a herald with him,
to get the King of France’s passport; and next day there met ina village
near Amiens, on the part of the French King, the bastard of Bourbon,
the admiral, the Lord St. Peter, and the Bishop of Eureux ; on the
part of the King of England, my Lord Howard, Mr. Chalanger, Dr.
Marten, Chancellor of England, and the Archbishop of Canterbury.

Thus, Sir, you.see the treaty so far advanced by a footman ; for I
can suppose a gentleman who had only twenty crowns, or 4l. 10s. per
annum salary, was not able to keep a servant of a higher station, and
a valet de chambre, for so we must account of this new vamped herald at
best.

I come next to tell you how a nine years truce was concluded
betwixt Edward the Fourth and Lewis the Eleventh, notwithstanding
all the endeavours used by the Duke of Burgundy and his other allies
against it.

The French valet de chambre having thus performed his part, he was
rewarded with a post and money, and the day after the ambassadors on
both sides met; the English (says Comines) demanded, according to
custom, the crown of France, or, at least, Normandy and Guienne.
They made a vigorous attack, and the F And made as brave a' defence;
however, the very first tday of meeting, they began to come within ken

: BR

12 ^ THE OLD FRENCH WAY OF

of one another, for both sides were eager for a peace, At last, the
demands of the English terminated in 70,000 crowns, to be paid down
before they marched off. That Lewis the Eleventh’s son should be
married to King Edward’s daughter, and that the duchy of Guienne
should be given to King Edward, or 50,000 crowns paid him annually,
inthe Tower of London, for nine years; after which, Guienne was to be
peaceably enjoyed by the prince and princess above-mentioned. Some
other articles there were, relating to trade, &c. which are not worth
mentioning; and there was room left for the allies on both sides to come
into this treaty, if they pleased. Nay, the King of England was so
forward, that he offered to give the French King an account in writing,
of several of his own subjects, who were traytors to his crown and
dignity.

The French ambassadors having reported these things to Lewis the
Eleventh, he was extremely rejoiced, and called a council upon it; at
which Comines was present. Some were of opinion that the English
dissembled, and that there was fraud couched under the proposals;
which proceeded, 1 suppose, from the extraordinary forwardness that
appeared in the English court towards a peace. But the King of
France was of another opinion, because of the advanced season, that
the English had not one place of retreat in their hands. "That there
was a misunderstanding betwixt them and the Duke of Burgundy,
and that the King knew our Edward the Fourth was wholly given up
to his ease and pleasures; and as to the constable of France, though
the King knew him to be a trickster, yet he was sure he would deliver
up none of the places he had promised to the Duke of Burgundy and
the English, because the King, being jealous of him, kept fair with
him, and was continually sending messengers, with fine words and large
promises, to keep him from doing any mischief. "Therefore it was con-
cluded to raise the money demanded by the English with all possible
speed, and to borrow it from those that were able to lend; for the
King was resolved to be rid of the English at any rate, and rather to
hazard all, than to suffer them to get get footing in the kingdom of France,
which they were just ready to enter.

Comines, being sensible that this was a very mean submission on the
part of the French King, excuses it thus: That he knew what mis-
chiefs the English had formerly done in France, and knowing the
danger of his own circumstances from the Duke of Britany, and others,
that were ready to raise commotions in the bowels of the kingdom, he
wisely chose this part, as the only means left him to disappoint the
designs of the Duke of Burgundy, and the other confederates.

The constable of France perceiving the treaty to be near concluded,
and being sensible that he had tricked with all sides, he sent his secre-
tary, and one of his gentlemen, to the King, with proposals to break oft.
the treaty. At the same time one of the Duke of Burgundy’s gentlemen,
who had been taken before Arras, was let go on his parole to procure
his ransom, and promised a great sum by the French King, besides being
let go ransom-free, if he could bring his master to a peace. He hap-
pened to return the very same time when the constable sent his servants
to the King of France, who improved the opportunity thus. He put

MANAGING TREATIES. 13
theDuke of Burgundy's gentleman and Comines, behind a large screen
in his own chamber, and called in the constable's secretary and gentle-
man, that the Duke of Burgundy’ servant might hear their proposals,
and report them to his master, which he doubted not would havea good
effect. The constable's servants began their discourse, and told the
French King ‘that their master had sent several times to persuade the
Duke of Burgundy to break with the English, and found him so much
incensed against the King of England, that he had almost gained him
not only to desert them, but to fall upon them as they retired; and,
the better to please the King, one of the constable's servants acted. the
Duke of Burgundy before him, stamped with his foot against the ground,
swore by St. George, which was the duke's usual oath, and called the
King of Eneland Blayborgne, the bastard of a beef-eater of that name,
and all the other reproachful names which he could invent. The French
King laughed heartily, aud, pretending to be thick of hearing, bid the
fellow repeat it, and speak out louder; which he did with a very good
grace. The conclusion, of their message was, that the constable advised

his Majesty to make a truce with the English, to avoid the dangers
which otherwise threatened him from the allies, and to grant the King
of England a little town or two for winter-quarters, pointing at Eu and
St. Valery; and added, That the constable was sure this would please
the English ; and for his part he would be guarantee they should keep
the treaty. "The French King baving gained his end, which was to let
the allies know the constable's knavery, he answered his messengers
very civilly, told them he would in a little time let his brother the con-
stable know his mind, for so he thought fit to call him, because he had
married a daughter of Savoy, sister to the Queen of l'rance; and then
dismiss'd them, after one of them had taken his cath that he would dis-
cover every thing that he knew to be transacted agaiust his Majesty's
interest. The King had much ado to dissemble his wrath at the con-
stable's proposal to give the English those two towns, because he knew
it was madeon purpose to excuse himself at their hands for not deliver-
ing them St. Quintin, &c. according as he had promised to the King of
England and the Duke of Burgundy; but he concealed his displeasure,
andsenta civil answer to the constable to keep him in suspense, and
prevent his delivering up the towns under his government. When the
constable's messengers were gone, the King called the Duke of Bur-
gundy's gentleman (who had much] ado to keep his patience when he
heard his master so much abused) and Comines, from behind the screen.
The King laughed heartily, and was very merry, while the Duke's gen-
tleman was in such a rage, that he could scarce be kept from taking
horse immediately to acquaint his master with the constable’s treachery.
But the King prevailed with him to stay till he wrote down with his own
hand what passed ; and the King writ to the duke, assuring him of the
truth of what his gentleman Seigneur de Contay (for that was his name)
chad writ. The truce with England was concluded before this, on the
terms above-mentioned, and an interview agreed on betwixt the two
Kings; after which the King of England, upon receiving his money,
was to return to his own country, and to leave the Lord Howard and
Mr. Cheyney, who was master of his horse, as hostages behind him.
B3

14 THE OLD FRENCH WAY OF

A private pension of 16,000 crowns per annum was also promised to the
King of England’s servants. ‘The Lord Hastings had 2000 per annum,
the Lord Howard, the master of the horse, Mr. Chalanger, the Lord

- Montgomery, and others, had the remainder, besides good sums in hand,
and presents of plate to others of King Edward's servants.

-The Duke of Burgundy, being informed of this negotiation, came
from Luxemburg in all haste, attended only by sixteen horse, to the En-
glish camp. King Edward was very much surprised at his coming in
that manner, and, perceiving by his countenance that he was in a rage,
asked him the reason. ‘The Duke told him he came to speak with
him, and asked if he had made a peace. "The Kinganswered, he had
made a truce for nine years, which he prayed him to agree to, since there
was room left for him, and the other allies, to enter into it. The Duke
upbraided him, as Hollinshed tells us, with this shameful treaty, and that
he had not so much askilled a fly, or burnt a sheepcote for his coming to
France. That his glorious ancestor, King Edward the Third, behaved
himself otherwise, and would never make peace till heconquered France,
was made regent of it, and declared heir apparent. That the said victo-
gious prince was as near a-kin to him, the Duke of Burgundy, asthe King
of England was to King Henry the Fifth, whose blood he charged him
with having destroyed; and told him, that ‘he had agreed to a peace not
worth a pease-cod.' That he did not invite him beyond sea, for any
need he had of him, since he was able to revenge his own quarrel, but
only to give him an opportunity to recover what had been unjustly ta-
ken from him; and, to let the King of England see that he did not value
his assistance, he scorned to enter into his truce, or to make any league
with the French King till three months after King Edward was returned
home; and, throwing down his chair in a rage, would have been gone,
But the King stopped him, and answering his reproaches ;with others,
for which I refer to Hollinshed ; the Duke left him in a fury. Some
of the King of England's council, who were against the peace, approved
very much of what the Duke of Burgundy had said.

I return now to the tricking constable. He, being afraid of the con-
sequences of this treaty, sent his confessor, as Comines and Hollinshed
agree, with a letter to King Edward, praying him, for God's sake, not to
believe the French King, who would break his promise as soon as the
King of England was returned; and, rather than he should conclude a
peace for want of money, he would lend him fiíty-thousand crowns.
Therefore he advised him to take Eu and St. Valery for winter-quarters,
and, before two months were over, he promised that he would take care
his quarters should be enlarged. King Edward answered, he had al-
ready agreed with the French King, and so left the constable in
despair.

I come next to the interview between the Kings of England and
France, and the circumstances which preceded it. The King of En-
gland, to ratify this peace, came with his army within half a league of
Amiens, but they marched in such disorder, says Comines, as shewed
they did not understand discipline, Fhe French King viewed them
from the gate of the town, and, thouga they were very numerous, he
might easily have defeated them, had he thought itfor his purpose; but

^ “MANAGING TREATIES. 15

his design was to treat them nobly, and to make peace with them at any
rate, in order to dissolve the alliance. He sent the King of England
three-hundred waggon load of the best wine he could get, which, with
their convoy, made as great a shew as the English army; and, besides
this, he ordered two very large tables to be placed at the entrance of the
ate, with all sorts of provisions that would make them drink, and. at
euch table there was the strongest wine in France, with six or seven French
men of quality, of the fattest and largest that were in the kingdom, to en-
tertain and please the English, who loved jelly companions and good
cheer, The English came in great numbers, with their horse and arms
tothe town, without observing any order; and as soon as they ap-
proached the gate, there were Frenchmen who took them by the bridle,
and, pleasantly asking them to run at the lance with them, brought
them to the tables, where they inade them eat and drink en passant, and
told them they might go into the town, and call for what they would,
but should pay for nothing. This pleased them mightily, and thus they
were treated for three or four days successively. They came in such
numbers, that the Lord de Torcy and Comines told the French King, it
was dangerous to have so many enemies in the town, for they were at
least nine-thousand. Upon which Comines was ordered to mount on
horse-back, and to speak to the English captains about it, for the Kng
would seem to take no notice of it himself. Comines did so, but, for one
that the captains sent back, there were twenty came in their places; so
that the King sent Comines again with a mareschal of France, to view
_ their posture in the town, where they found most of them drinking, or
asleep in the publick houses, and reported it to the King; who, though
he thought there was no great danger, from men who observed so little
order, commanded troops to be privately armed, placed some of them at
the gate, and came himself to the porter's lodge, where he invited the
chief of the English to dine with him. The King of England, being in-
formed of these disorders, was ashamed of it, and sent to the French
King to suffer no more of them to enter the town; to which Lewis the
Eleventh answered, that he would never do so, but if the King of England
pleased, he might send his own guards to keep the gates, and to let none
in but whom they thought fit. This was accordingly done, and the
town cleared of the English.
To put an end to those disorders, the place of interview was agreed
on, by gentlemen deputed on both sides. A wooden bridge was made
on purpose over the Soame, with an apartment for the two Kings in the
middle, and a barrier betwixt them. Comines observes, that the road
by which the King of England came to the bridge wasa straight cause- -
way, with a dangerous morass on both sides, whereas the French King
had the country open on his side; from whence that author remarks,
that *the English are nothing so subtle as the French, and go very auk-
wardly abouttreaties; but, being cholerick, those that deal with them
must have patience, and not give them hard words. T shall not insist
upon the further particulars, but the interview was made. The French
King came first to the barrier, and, leaning against it, the King of En-
gland came up, took off his black velvet cap, adorned with a great flow-
er-de-luce set in jewels, and kneeled to the French King, who returned

him a very low bow, and said to him, ‘Cousin, you are very welcome.
There’s no man in the world I desired to see so much as yourself; and,
thank God, that we are met here in so friendly a manner. The King
of England, who spoke French well, made a suitable return in that lan-
guage; and then the Bishop of. Ely, who was chancellor of England,
began his speech with a prophecy, (for the English are never without
onc, says Comines) the import of which was, * that Merlin had foretold
there should be a remarkable peace concluded between England and
France at that place. After this, the articles were read and sworn on
both sides. Then the French Kingsaid smilingly to King Edward, that
the must come’ to Paris, and feast with the ladies, and he would give him
the Cardinal de Bourbon for confessor, who would readily pardon him,
if he happened to commit any slip. King Edward laughed, for he knew
the Cardinal was a boon companion. Some farther discourse of this
nature having passed, the French King ordered his own courtiers to re-
tire, for he would speak with the King of England alone. The English
courtiers retired, says Comines, atthe same time, without expecting their
King's orders; and when those princes had spoke a while together,
the French King called for Comines, presented him to the King of En-
gland, and asked his Majesty if he did not know him? King Edward
owned that he did, and remembered the services he had formerly done
him at Calais. The French King asked King Edward what he would
advise him to do, if the Duke of Burgundy, who had so haughtily re-
jected the treaty, continued in that:mind? King Edward answered, he
would offer it him once more, and, if,he did not comply, they would
consult about it, Then the French King asked him the same question,
about the Duke of Britany. To which King Edward replied, that he
desired his Majesty not to make war upon him, since he had been his
chief friend, when he was forced to retire from England. Upon this they
parted after very fine compliments, the French King to Amiens, and
King Edward to his army. The Duke of Gloucester, the King of En-
gland’s brother, and several others, who did not like this peace, would
not assist at the conference; but they were induced to wait upon the
French King afterwards, who presented them with plate and fine horses
nobly aecoutred. On the road to Amiens, the French King told Co-
mines, that he did not like King Edward’s being so willing to come to
Paris, for he was a handsome prince, and loved women, so that he was
afraid, if he came thither, he might find some lady that would tempt him
to return again; that his predecessors had been too often in Paris and
Normandy, and that he did not care for their company on that side the
sea, though he loved to have them his friends in England. He was like-
wise displeased that he would not abandon the Duke of Britany, but
urged it no further, lest he should have provoked him. When the
French King returned to Amiens, three or four Englishmen of qua-
lity, who had promoted the treaty, came and supped with him, during
which, the Lord Howard whispered him in the ear, that, if his Majesty
pleased, he believed he could prevail with the King of England to come
and make merry with him at Amiens, if notat Paris, The French King
received the message with a pleasant countenance, but put it off by say-
ing, that he must make haste to observe the Duke of Burgundy. The next

day after the treaty, abundance of English eame to Amiens, and said,
that the peace was made by the Holy Ghost, because a white pigeon
perched upon the King of England's tent during the interview, and would
not move from it, notwithstanding allthe noise made by the soldiers.
But the truth of the matter, says Comines, was told him by one of King
Edward's own servants, viz. that there had been a great rain, and after
that the sun shined out very hot, and the pigeon lighted upon the King's
tent, which was the highest, to dry itself.. The same gentleman, who
was a Gascoign, told Comines privately, that *he perceived the French
Court made nothing but a jest of the King of England.' Comines asked
how many battles that Prince had won? The Gascoign answered, he
had gained nine in person. Comines asked further, how many he
had lost? The gentleman answered, none but this, meaning the treaty,
by which he said, he lost more honour, than he had gained by all
the nine battles. Comines told this to the King of France, who there-
upon said, the Gascoign was a cursed son of a whore, and that Comines '
must take care what he said to him. He afterwards sent him to in-
vite that gentleman to dinner, which he accepted ; and the King offered
him very great rewards, if he would take service under him, which the
gentleman refused; but the King told him, he would take care of his
brothers that were in Gascoign, made him a present of a^thousand
crowns, and Comines whispered him in the ear, that be should be well
rewarded, if he would use his interest to entertain a good correspondence
betwixt the two"Kings. j
Lewis XI. resolved to take great care after this to say nothing that
might give the English ground to think that he laughed at them; yet,
the very next day, when there were none but Comines and three or four
more about him, he could not forbear laughing at the wine and other
presents which he had sent to the English army; but turning about, he
saw a Gascoign merchant in the room, who lived in England, and was
come to beg leave to carry oversome wine custom-free. "The King was
. vexed, when he saw him, asked him who he was, and what estate he had;
and, understanding that he had no great matter, he gave him a post in
Bourdeaux, granted him his demand, and presented him with a thousand
franks, on conditiou that he should send for his family from England,
and go no more there himself. `
Comines gives another instance of the King’s care to avoid giving any
offence to the English. A gentleman of our nation, seeing part of the
Duke of Burgundy’s guards, who came with his ambassadors to treat
with the King after he had been deserted by the English, said to Comines,
* Had we known that the Duke of Burgundy was so. well provided
with troops, we should notso readily have agreed to a peace? ‘The Lord
of Narbonnereplied, * Were ye such fools as not to know that? Yeonly
say so now, but six-hundred pipes of wine and a pension from our King
has sent you all a packing again to England, The English gentleman
broke out into a rage, and said, * He perceived it now to be true what
he had often been told, that the French made their games at the En-
glish; but, by St. George,’ says he, what your King gave us is not a pen-
sion but atribute? Upon which Comines interposed, broke off the dis-

18 THE OLD FRENCH WAY OF

course, turned it into a jest, and told the King of it, who sharply
rebuked the Lord of Narbonne.

. T return again to the tricking constable, who finding, that he had
intirely disobliged the Duke of Burgundy, and the King of England,
sent ene of his chief servants to beg of the King, not to believe all the
ill that was said of him; and, to assure his Majesty of his fidelity, he
offered to prevail with the Duke of Burgundy to fall upon the English
in their retreat. The message was delivered to Comines, and he reported
itto the King, who, in the presence of the Lord Howard and the Duke
of Burgundy's gentleman that had formerly overheard the constable's
treacherous proposals, delivered a letter to the constable’s servant, and
told him, That he was taken up about affairs of great concernment, and
stood in need of such an head as his master's. The poor man thought it
avery friendly answer; but, when he was gone, the King turned about
to the gentleman above mentioned, and said merrily, I did not intend to
have the constable’s body, for his head is all I want. At the same time
the King of England sent Lewis XI. two of the constable’s private letters,
with an account-of all that he had said and done against him; so that
those tbree princes conspired to take off this trickster's head, which
certainly he very well deserved, though it was below the character
of the King of England and the Duke of Burgundy to beceme evidence
apainst him.

' It is time now to wind up the story in as few words as I can. Comines
tells us, that thé King of England did not engage cordially in this war,
for, before he came from Dover, he began to treat with the French
King; and that he brought his army over to France for the two follow-
ing reasons: First, ‘because his people were eager for a war against
France, and the Duke of Burgundy pressed him toit, Secondly, That
he might save most of the money which had been granted him by the
parliament for that war; and, the better to impose upon his subjects,
‘he brought with him twelve of the principal commons of England, who
had been tbe most zealous for the war, and contributed chiefly to raise
the money for maintaining it.’ The King lodged them in good tents;
but being corpulent men, and not accustomed to the fatigues of war,
they hoped th» King would soon have ended the matter by a battle.
His Majesty, who never intended it, * filled ther heads with doubts and
fears as to the issue of a battle, and managed matters so well, that he
brought them to approvethe peace, and engaged them to help in sup-
pressing the murmurs of his subjects upon his return; for there never
was a greater and better appointed army sent from England to France.’
But King Edward was not of a complexion to endure- such fatigues as
the conquest of that kingdom would have required; besides he was
mighty earnest fora match betwixt the dauphin, afterwards Charles
VIII, and his own daughter, which made him dissemble many things `
- that afterwards turned to the French King's advantage. i

All the English being returned home, except the hostages, the treaty
betwixt the French King and the Duke of Burgundy was brought to
bear by M. de Contay, that duke's gentleman formerly mentioned, and
the King carried the English hostages to Vervins, where the treaty was
finished. ‘The King of England being informed of the negotiations, and

.- MANAGING TREATIES. : 19

enraged that the Duke of Burgundy would not agree to this truce, sent
Sir Thomas Montgomery, one of his favourites, to the King of Fance,
to pray him*that he would make no other treaty with the duke than he
had done with him, and particularly that he would not yield up St.
Quintins. He proffered at the same time, if the King had a mind to
continue the war, that he would join him, next year, in person against
the duke, provided the French King would pay half his army, and give
him an equivalent for the customs of wool at Calais, which was about
fifty-thousand crowns per annum. Lewis XI. thanked the King for his
proffer, and told Sir Thomas, the treaty was already concluded; that
it was only for nine years, but the duke would have a particular treaty
for himself; and thus making the best excuses he could, he made Sir
Thomas a rich present of plate, and sent the English hostages home with
him. Thus Lewis XI. thought himself well rid of the English, and did
not care to see them any more on that side the sea, lest they should
have renewed their treaty with the Duke of Burgundy.

This prince was at last ruined by the intrigues of Lewis XT, who
stirred up enemies against him on every side; and after his death he
seized the Duchy of Burgundy, besides: several places in Flanders.
The King of England was the only prince capable to put a stop to Lewis
XIth’s career, and the heiress of Burgundy sent ambassadors to intreat
his assistance, which the parliament came heartily into, and repre-
sented to King Edward the French King's perfidiousness, and his breach
of the above-fnentioned treaty, in not coricluding the match betwixt the
Dauphin and his daughter. But King Edward being a heavy unweildy
man, and wholly addicted to his pleasures, he had no regard to their
remonstrances; besides, the pension.of fifty-thousand crowns, paid him
every year, was a bait for his avarice. And when he was obliged to send
ambassadors with sharp messages, to please his subjects, the French King
always treated them well, took them off by rich presents, and gained time,
by pretending that he would speedily send ambassadors with full instruc-
tions to give their master satisfaction : and at ether times he proposed to
share the Netherlands with him. But his chief trust was in the great
number of pensioners he had in England, whom Comines names as
follows: The lord chancellor, the master of the rolls, the Lord
Hastings, who was great chamberlain, and in mighty favour with his
master; Sir Thomas Montgomery, the Lord Howard, afterwards Duke
of Norfolk; the master of the horse, Mr. Chalanger, and the marquis,
son to the Queen of England, by a former marriage. ` To all these he
gave great gifts besides their pensions, and particularly to the lord cham-
berlain, Hastings, a thousand marks of plate at once; and the acquit-
tances of all those pensioners were to be seen in the French King's
chamber of accounts, says Comines, except those of the Lord Hast-
ings, who had formerly been a pensioner to the Duke of Burgundy, by
Comines's interest; who, knowing his weak side, advised Lewis XI. to
purchase him in the same manner, for he wasat that time a great enemy
to France, and mightily pressed King Edward to assist the heiress of
Burgundy; but Lewis XI. bought him off, by doubling his pension.
He sent ithim by Mr. Cleret, master of his own houshold, and ordered
him to take an acquittance for it, as he did from the lord chancellor,

thelord high-admiral, the master of the horse, and others, and as he
had formerly done from the preceding lord chamberlain. But when he >
came to the Lord Hastings, and delivered him his message with the
pension, that lord refused him an acquittance. The French gentleman
insisted on it, and said, that his master might otherwise think he had
cheated him, and not delivered the money. The Lord Hastings replied,
That what he said was very just, but, since the money came by the
Kings free will, and not at his desire, he must put it into his sleeve
without witness or acquittance; for it should never be said, that the
great chamberlain of England was a pensioner of France, or that bis
acquittance should be found in the French King's chamber of accounts.
Cleret was forced.to comply, and, though Lewis XI. was angry at first
when he told him the story, he ever after esteemed the Lord Hastings
more than any of his other English pensioners, and ordered his money to
be paid him, without demanding any more acquittances.

Thus, Sir, you have an account of this dishonourable treaty, how
England was tricked by the French King's perfidiousness and cunning,
how our allies were abused and ruined, how the exorbitant power of
France was founded, though England was in a capacity to have pre-
vented it; and how our country and parliaments were imposed upon,
‘to the perpetual dishonour of the nation, by the French King and his
pensioners.

COFFEE is said to be a sort of Arabian bean, called bon, or

coava, or chaube, over all the Turkish dominions. Prosper Alpi-

nus * (who lived several years in Aigypt) assures us, that he saw
the tree itself, which he compares to our spindle tree, or prick-
wood, only the leaves were a little thicker, and harder, besides con-
tinually green 4. "This tree is found in the desarts of Arabia, in
some parts of Persia and India, the seed, or berry, of which is called
by the inhabitants buncho, bon, and ban, which being dried, and
boiled with water, is the most universal drink, in all the "Turkish,
and several Eastern Countries, where wine is publickly forbid; it
has been the most antient drink of the Arabians, and some [f will
have the jus nigrum Spartanorum, i. e. The black broth of the Spar-
tans, to have been the same with our coffee. The Persians at this
day do tipple as much coffee off, as the Turks themselves, Ta-
vernier|| in his description of Ispahan (the metropolis of Persia) is very
jocose and merry, when he comes to describe the famous coffec-house of
that city ; he says, that the wise Sha Abas, observing great numbers of
Persians to resort to that house daily, and to quarrel very much about
state-affairs, appointed a moullah to be there every day betimes to
entertain the tobacco-whiffers, and coffee-quaffers, with a point of law,
history, or poetry; after which, the moullah rises up, and makes pro-
clamation, thatevery man must retire, and to his business; upon which
they all observe the moullah, who is always liberally entertained by
the company. Olearius docs also speak § of the great diversions, made
in the coffee-houses of Persia, by their poets, and historians, who are
seated in a high chair, from whence they make speeches, and tell
satyrical stories, playing in the mean time with a little stick, and
-the same gestures, as our jugglers, and legerdemain-men, do in Eng.
land.

As for the qualities and nature of coffee, our own countryman, Dr.
Willis, has published a very rational account **, whose great reputation
and authority are of no small force; he says, that in several head-achs,
dizziness, lethargies, and catarrhs, where there is a gross habit of body,
and a cold heavy constitution,. there coffee may be proper, and success-
ful; and in these cases he sent his patients to the coffe-house, rather
than to the apothecary's shop; but where the temperament is hot, and
lean, and active, there coffee may not be very agreeable; because it may
dispose the body to inquietudes, and leanness. "The doctor makes one
unlucky observation of this drink, which I am afraid will cow our
citizens from ever meddling with it hereafter, that it often makes men
paralytick, and' does so slacken their strings, as they become unfit for
the sports and exercises of the bed, and their wives recreations; to
confirm which, I will quote here two precedents, out of the most learned
Olearius, who says, tt that the Persians are of an opinion that coffee
allays their natural heat, for which reason théy drink it, that they may
avoid the charge and inconveniences of many children; nay, the Per-
sians are so far from dissembling the fear they have thereof, that some of

them have come to the Holstein physician of that ambassy, for remedies
.to prevent the multiplication of children; but the doctor, being a
merry, bold German, answered the Persians, that he had rather help
them to get children, than to prevent them. This most famous Olearius
(that made so many curious and. accurate observations in his travels)
tells us of a Persian King, named Sultan Mahomet Caswin, who
reigned in Persia before T'merlanes time, that was so accustomed
to drinking of cahwa, or cofice, that he had an unconeeivable aversion
to women, end that the Queen, standing one day at her chamber
window, and perceiving they were about gelding a horse, asked some
standers-by, why they treated so handsome a creature in that manner;
whereupon answer was made her, that he was too fiery and mettlesome,
therefore they resolved to deprive him of his generative faculty. The
Queen replied, That trouble might have been spared, since cahwa, or
cofice, would have wrought the same effect, the experiment being already
tried upon the King her husband. "This King left a son, called Maho-
met, after him, as our most grave and faithful traveller * does assure us,
who, being come to the crown, commanded that great poet, Hakim
Fardausi, to present him with some verses, for every one of which, the
sophy promised him a ducat; the. poet, in a short time, made sixty
thousand, which, at this day, are accounted the best that ever were
made in Persia, and Hakim Fardausi esteemed the Poet Laureat of the
East. The treasurers, thinking it too great a sum for a poet, would
have put him off with half; whereupon, Fardausi made other verses,
wherein he reproached the King with avarice, and told him, he could
not be of royal extraction, but must be rather descended from a shoe-
maker, ora baker. Mahomet, being nettled, made complaint to the
Queen his mother, who, suspecting that the poet had discovered her
amours, ingenuously confessed to the King her son, that, his father
being impotent, through his excessive drinking of cahwa, or coffee, she
fancied a baker belonging to the court, and said, if it had not been for
the baker, the young King had never been what he was; so, lest the
business should take wind, the poet got his full reward. But let us
return a little into our old serious road.

Coffee is said to be very good for those, that have taken too much
drink, meat, or fruit, as the learned Schroder t will inform you; as
also against shortness of breath, and rheum; and it is very famous in
old obstructions, so that all the Egyptian, and Arabian women, are
observed to promote their monthly courses with coffee, and to tipple
constantly of it, all the time they are flowing; for which we have the
undoubted authority of Prosper Alpinus f, who spent several years
amongst them. It is found to ease the running scorbutick gout, or
theumatism, as Mollenbroccius has affirmed |. à i

As for the manner of preparing coffee, it isso easy, and so commonly
known, that we need not mentionit; only we may observe, that some of
the Asiatick nations make their coffee of the coat, or husk of the berry,
which they look upon to be much stronger, and more efficacious, than

The Natural History of Thee, or Tea.
SECT. II. "

THIS herb, thee, is commonly found in China, Japan, and some
other Indian Countries; the Chinese call it thee, the Japonians, tchia :
That of Japan is esteemed much the best, one pound of it being com-
monly sold for one-hundred pounds, as Tulpius informs f us from several
great men, that have been ambassadors and residents in those parts; so
that most of the thee, which is brought into Europe, cómes from China,
and that too of the worst kind, which cannot but decay in so long a
‘voyage; for the Dutch have ‘been observed to dry a great quantity of
sage, whose leaves, being rolled up like thee, were carried into China
by them, under the name of a most rare European herb; for one pound
of this dried sage, the Dutch received three pounds of thee from the
Chinese, as Thevenot informs |] us. There isa great controversy amongst
the herbalists, to what classis this thee may be reduced. Bontius §

, compares it to the leaves of our wild daisy; for which Simon Pauli is
very angry with him **, and gives very strong arguments, that thee is
the leaves' of a sort of myrtle, for, out of the leaves of myrtle, a liquor
may be made, resembling thee in all qualities; therefore, the Jesuit
Trigautius is of opinion Tf, that several of our European forests and
woods do abound with a true thee, it being observed to grow in great
plenty in Tartary (which lies under the same climate with many coun-
‘tries of Europe) from whence, some learned men think, it came ori-
ginally, for it has not been long known to the Chinese ft, they having
.no ancient name, or hieroglyphick characters for thee, and cha being
anancient Tartarian word. Besides, it is known to several merchants,
thata great quantity of thee is brought yearly out of Tartary into
Persia; and we are all acquainted with the several great conquests [|l
which the Tartars have made in China, so that the Chinese have had
several opportunities of learning the use of thee from the Tartars, in
‘whose country it is observed to be in great plenty, and of little value;
yet the inhabitants of China and Japan have a great esteem and opinion

of it, where they are as much employed, and concerned for their harvest
of thee (which is iu spring) as the Europeans are for their vintage, as se-
veral jesuits inform us in their observations of China.* For the noble-
men, and princes of China and Japan, drink thee at all hours of the
day ; and, in their visits, it is their whole entertainment, the greatest per-
sons of quality boiling and preparing the thee themselves, every palace
and house being furnished with convenient rooms, furnaces, vessels, pots,
and spoons, for that purpose; which they value at a higher rate than
we do diamonds, gems, and pearls, as Tulpius T assures us, from the re-
lations of several great Dutchmen, who travelled China in the quality
of ambassadors, and made great observations of those rich stones, and
woods, out of which the aforesaid materials were made.

As for the qualities and vertues of thce, these few following observa-
tions may give satisfaction. That it makes us active and lively, and
drives off sleep, every drinker of it cannot but be sensible. The great
jesuit, Alexander de Rhodes, always cured himself of a periodical pain
of his head by thee f, and having often occasion to sit up whole nights
in China, to take the confessions of dying people, he found the great be-
nefit of thee in those great watchings, so that he was always as vigorous
and fresh the next day, as though he had rested all night ; nay, he says,
that he sat up six nights together, by the assistance of thee. Kircher
himself took notice of thee for clearing the head and opening the uri-
nary passage |]; and it was observed by those concerned in the Dutch
ambassy to China, that the Chinese did spit very little, and were seldom
subject to the stone and gout, which their physicians imputed to their
frequent drinking of thee&. — It is a common proverb in Japan:

Illlene sanus non sit? Bibit de optima Tsia?
* What is he not well? He drinks of the best thee**."

I know some that celebrate good thee for preventing drunkenness,
taking it before they go to the tavern, and use it also very much after a
dcbauch, thee being found so friendly to their stomachs and heads. Se-
veral ambassadors find the advantage of it in preserving them from the
accidents and inconveniences of a bad forcign air; but that, which gives
the greatest commendation to thee, is the good character which our fa-
mous countryman, Mr. Boyle, gives of it in his Experimental Philoso-
phytt, where he says, that it deserves those great praises which are com-
monly bestowed upon it. Yet Simon Pauli exclaims $f against the use
of thee, as a great drier, and promoter of old age, and as a thing unnatu-
ral, and foreign to the European complexions. But Schroder ||| an-
swers Pauli very mildly, supposing him to speak only of the abuse and
extravagant management of thee; for otherwiserhubarb, china, sassafras,
and saunders should be banished from our shops, by the same reason,

The Chinese gather the leaves in the spring, one by one, and, immedi-
ately, put them to warm in an iron kettle over the fire; then, layingthem
on a fine light mat, roll them together with their lids The leaves,
thus rolled, are again hanged over the fire, and then rolled closer toge-
ther, till they are dry; then put up carefully in tin vessels, to pre-
serve them from moisture. ‘Thus they prepare the best leaves,that yield
the greatest rates; but the common ordinary ones are only dried in the

of Vinetum Britannicum does well observe) the sun having a great power
to attract the vertue out of any vegetable after its separation from its

expedition, and is condemned to stay at home in disgrace; but, w hen

nut, as Mr. Hughes observes *, is of the bigness of a great almond; in
some of these fruits there are a dozen, in some twenty, in other thirty,
or more of these kernels, or cocoa’s, which are well described by the in-
genious and learned: Dr. Grew T. When these kernels are cured, they be-
come blackish, and are compared toa bullock's kidney, cut into par-
titions ; there is great variety in them, by reason of the difference of soils
and climates where they grow. The treeissaid to be as large as our
English plum-trees, the leaves sharp pointed, compared by some travel-
lers to the leaves of chesnut; by the curious Piso to the leaves of an
orange t; the flower of a saffron colour, upon the appearance of which
the fruit appears upon -the branches as apples; this tree grows in seve-
ral parts of America, as in Nicaragua, New Spain, Mexico, Cuba, and
in Jamaica, especially at Colonel Barrington’s quarters, or plantations||;
they prosper best in low, moist, and fat ground, and are as squarely and
orderly sct, as the cherry-treees in Kent or Worcestershire; they com-
monly bear within seven years, and then twice every year; the first crop
between January and February, the other between May and June. The
inhabitants have so great a value for them, that they secure them with
the shades of plantain and bonona-trees, against the injuries of their
fiery sun, and do use the kernels instead of money, both in their traffick,
and rewards; as the great jesuit, Josephus Acosta, observed, when he
was sent into America &. "The Indians look upon their chocolate as the
greatest delicacy for extraordinary entertainments. Montezuma is said
to have treated Cortez and his soldiers with it; and you ean scarce read
‘an American traveller, but he will often tell you of the magnificent col-
lations of chocolate, that the Indians offered him in his passage and
journies through their country ; as Mr. Gage (who travelled many years
in America,) informs us, the Spaniards do constantly drink chocolate in
their churches at Mexico and Chiapa, of which they, being once forbid,
did mutiny, and commit great outrages, till their custom was restored
them **. "ThelndiansandChristians,in theA merican plantations, have been
observed to live, several. months upom.cocoa-nuts alone, made into a
paste with sugar, and so dissolved in water; I myself have eat great
quantities of these kernels raw, without the least inconvenience; and
have heard that Mr. Boyleand Dr. Stubbs have let down into their stos
machs some pounds of them raw without any molestation; the sto-
mach seems rather to be satisfied than cloyed with them, which is an
argument they are soon dissolved and digested. The Spaniards do not
scruple to eat them upon their great fast-days.

The Indians at first made their chocolate of the nut alone without any
addition, unless sometimes pepper, and maiz, or Indian wheat; and in
Jamaica at this day, as Mr, Hughes observes +, there is a sort of choco-
late, made up only of the paste of the cocoa itself; and this he esteems
to be one of the best sorts of chocolate. Dr. Stubbs tt, who wasa great
master of the chocolate art, did not approve of many ingredients be-

sides the cocoa-nuts; that chocolate, which the Doctor prepared for his
Majesty, had double the quantity of the cocoa kernel to the other in-
gredients. In the common sort, the cocoa nuts may take up half the
composition, according to Piso * ; in the worst, a third part only. As
to the other ingredients for making up chocolate, they may be varied ac-
cording to the constitutions of those that are to drink it; in cold con-
stitutions Jamaica pepper, cinnamon, nutmegs, cloves, &c. may be mix-
ed with the cocoa-nut; some add musk, ambergrease, citron, lemon-
peels, and odoriferousaromatick oils. in hot consumptive tempers you
may mix almonds, pistacho's, &c. sometimes china, sarsa,and saunders;
and sometimes steel and rhuburb may be added for young green ladies.
Mr. Hughes gives us very good advice 1, in telling us, that we may buy
the best chocolate of seamen and merchants, who bring it over ready
made from the West-Indies. His reason is none of the worst, which is
this: Let the cocoa kernels be never so well cured in the West-Indies,
and stowed never so carefully in thesbhip, yet, by their long transporta-
tion, and by the various airs of climates, they are often spoiled, their na-
tural oiliness tending much to putrefaction; from whence I have heard
several complain in England, that their chocolate, made up here, does
often prove musty, and will settle much to the bottom of the dish ; which
is a certain sign, says the learned Dr. Stubbs[, that the nuts are either
faulty, or not well beaten and made up., ‘The best cocoa-nuts are said
to come from Carraca, or Nicaragua, out of which Dr. Stubbs prepared
chocolate for the King; yet the Doctor commends the cocoa-nuts of
Jamaica, which were first planted there by the Spaniards. That you
may know how to prepare your chocolate, I will give you a short direc-
tion, if you intend to make it up yourself; consult your own constitu-
tion and circumstances, and vary the ingredients according to the pre-
mises, for I cannot give a receipt to make up the mass of chocolate,
which will be agreeable and proper to all complexions, yet, in the com-
position of it, you must remember to appoint the, cocoa kernel for the
fundamental and principal ingredient. As for the managing the cocoa-
nut, Dr. Stubbs||, and Mr. Hughes §, have published most excellent in-
structions, how you must peel, dry, beat, and searce it very carefully,
before you beat it up into a mass with other simples. As for the great
quantity of sugar which is commonly put in, it may destroy the native
and genuine temper of the chocolate, sugar being such a corrosive salt,
and such an hypocritical enemy to the body. Simon Pauli **,(a learned
Dane) thinks sugar to be one cause of our English consumptions; and
Dr. Willis ++ blames it as one cause of our universal scurvies ; therefore,
when chocolate produces any ill effects, they may be often imputed to
the great superfluity of its sugar, which often fills up half its composi-
tion. For preparing the drink of chocolate you may observe the fol-
lowing measures: Take of the mass of chocolate, cut into small pieces,
one ounce; of milk and water well boiled together, of each half a pint ;
one.yolk of an egg well beaten; mix them together, let them boil but

gently, till all is dissolved, stirring them often together with your mol-
linet, or chocolate-mill; afterwards pour it into your dishes, and into
every dish put one spoonful of sack. ,

As for the vertues and effects of the cocoa-nut, or chocolate, all *
the American travellers have written such panegyricks, and so many
experimental observations, that I should but degrade this royal liquor,
if I should offer at any. Yet, I think, two or three remarks upon It
cannot be unsuitable to this little history; several of these curious tra-
vellers and physicians do agree in this, that the cocoa nut hasa wonder-
ful faculty of quenching thirst, allaying hectick heats, of nourishing
and fattening the body. Mr. Gage acquaints us f, that he drank cho-
colate in the Indies, two or three times every day, for twelve years toge-
ther, and he scarce knew what any disease was in all that time, he
growing very fat, Some object it is too oily and gross, but then the
bitterness of the nut makes amends, carrying the other off by strengthen-
ing of the bowels. Mr. Hughes informs f us, that he lived, at sea, for
some months on nothing but chocolate, yet neither his strength nor flesh
were diminished; he says, our English seamen are very greedy of it,
when they come into any Indian ports, and soon get plump countenances
by the use of it. Mr. Hughes himself grew very fat in Jamaica, by
vertue of the cocoa-nut ; so he judges it most proper for lean, weak, and
consumptive complexions; it may be proper for some breeding women,
and those persons that are hypochondriacal and melancholy. The in-

` dustrious Dr. Mundy gives a notable example of the effect of chocolate;
he [| says, that he knew a man in a desperate consumption, who took a
great fancy for chocolate; and his wife, out of complaisance drank it
often with him; the consequence was this, the husband recovered his
health, and his wife was afterwards brought to bed of three sons at one
birth.

The great use cf chocolate in venery, and for supplying the testicles
with a balsam, or asap, is so ingeniously made out by one of our
learned countrymen already, that I dare not presume to add any thing
after ta so accomplished a pen; though I am of opinion, that | might
treat of the subject without any immodesty, or offence. Gerson, the
grave Roman casuist, has writ de Pollutione Nocturna, and some have
defended fornication in the popish nunneries; hysterical fits, hypochon-
driacal melancholy, love-passious, consumptive pinings away, and
spermatical fevers, being instances of the necessity hereof, natural in-
stinct pointing out the cure. We cannot but admire the great prudence
ot Moses, who severely prohibited that there should be no wkore among
the daughters of Israel, yet that most wise legislator took great care for
their timely marriage; upon these very accounts the Casuists defend the
protestant clergy in their marriages. And Adam is commanded in
paradise to increase and multiply, therefore I hope this little excursion
is pardonable, being so adequate to this treatise of chocolate; which,
if Rachel had known, she would net have purchased Mandrakes for
Jacob. If the amorous and martial Turk should ever taste it, he

would despise his opium. If the Grecians and Arabians had ever tried
it, they would have thrown away their wake-robins and their cuckow-
pintles; and I do not doubt but you London gentlemen, do value it
above all your cullisscs and jellies; your anchovics, Bononia sausages,
your cock and lamb-stones, your soys, your ketchups and cavearcs,
your cantharides, and your whites of eggs, are not to be compared to
our rdde Indian; therefore you must be very courteous and favourable
to this little pamphlet, which tells you most faithful observations.

The industrious author * of the Vinetum Britannicum makes a query,
Whether the kernel of the walnut may not supply the defect of the
cocoa, if well ground? Dr, Grew thinks +, that for those that drink
chocolate, at coffee-houses, without any medicinal respect, there is no
doubt, but that almonds finely beaten, and mixed with a due pro-
portion of spices, and sugar, may be, made as pleasant a drink as the
best chocolate,

The Natural History of Tobacco.
SECT. IV.

TOBACCO is reckoned by the best herbalists to be a specics, or
sort of henbane, proper to the American regions, as Dodonzus and
Simon Pauli f; yet some botanists will have ita native of Europe, and
reduce it to several of our classes. But 1 will not trouble you with this
controversy, only we may take notice, that Thevet did first bring the
seed of tobacco in France, though Nicot the French ambassador in
Portugal (from whom it is called Nicotiana) was the first that sent the
plant itself into his own country. Hernandes de Toledo, who travelled
America, by the command of Philip the Second, having supplied Spain
and Portugal with it before|. Sir Francis Drake got the seed in Vir-
ginia, and was the first that brought it into England 8; yet some give Sir
Walter Rawleigh the honour of it; since which time it has thriven very
well in our English soil; a great quantity of it grows yearly in several
gardens about Westminster, and in other parts of Middlesex. It is
planted in great plenty in Gloucester, Devonshire, and some other
western countries; his Majesty sending every year, a troop of horse to
destroy it, lest the trade of our. American plantations shouid be incom-
moded thereby. Yet many of the London apothecaries make use of-
English tobacco in theirshops, notwithstanding the vulgar opinion that
this herb is a native of America, and foreign to Europe. Yet Libavius
assures us, that it grows naturally in the famous Hereynian Forest of
Germany. Jf this was true, we would no longer call it tobacco from
the island of Tobago. The names of it are so various, as they would
glut the most hungry reader. ‘The Americans stile it picielt; m Nova
Francia, petum; in Hispaniola, cozobba; in Virginia, uppuvoc; at

50 THE NATURAL HISTORY OF TOBACCO.

Rome, herba sancta crucis ; in some parts of Italy, herba medicea;
in France, herba reginæ, as you may read in Magnenus and Neander*:
But, let it be of what name or kind it will, I am confident, that it is of
the poisonous sort, for it intoxicates, inflames, vomits, and purges;
which operations are common to poisonous plants, as to poppies, night-
shades, hemlocks, monks-hood, spurges, and hellebores, that will pro-
duce the like effects. Besides, every one knows, that the oil of tobacco
is one of the greatest poisons in nature; a few drops of it, falling upon
the tongue ofacat, will immediately throw her into convulsions, under
which she will dic. ‘This Dr. Willis assures T us to be true; the expe-
riment succeeded, when it was tried before the royal society, as the
learned Dr. Grew has affirmed t; besides, I can speak it upon
my own certain knowledge, having killed several animals with a few
drops of this oil. Yet that most sagacious Italian, Francisco Redi,
observes || very well, that the oil of tobacco kills not all animals, nei-
ther does it dispatch those, it kills, in the same space of time; there is
a great difference between the tobacco of Brasil, and that of St. Chris-
tophers, as to thiseffect. Varino and Brasil tobacco being almost of the
same quality and operation; whereas that of St. Christophers, Terra
Nova, Nieve, and St. Martin, has very different effects.

If we run over those countries, where tobacco is made use of, we
may observe the various manners of using it. Some Americans will mix
it with a powder of she!ls, to chew it, salivating all the time, which, they
fancy, docs refresh them in their journies and labours; others in New
Spain will dawb the ends of reeds with the gum, or juice of tobacco, and,
setting them on fire, will suck the smoke to the other end. The Virgi-
nians were observed to have pipes of clay before ever the English came
there §; and, from those barbarians, we-Europeans have borrowed our
mode and fashion of smoaking. ‘The Moors and Turks have no great
kindness for tobacco; yet, when they do smoak, their pipes are very
Jong, made of reeds, or wood, with an earthen head. The Irishmen
do most commonly powder their tobacco **, and snuff it up their nos-
trils, which some of our Englishmen do, and often chew and swallow
it. I know some persons, that do eat every day some ounces of tobacco,
without any sensible alteration; from whence we may learn, that use
and custom will tame and naturalise the most fierce and rugged poison,
so that it will become civil and friendly to the body. We read of a
French ambassador +4, that, beingin England, was so indisposed, that
he could never sleep; upon which he would often devour whole ounces
of opium without being concerned. And the Turks are often observed
to swallow great lumps of it, a tenth part of which would kill those
that were not accustomed to opiates. J know a woman in this city,
that, being used to take both the hellebores, will often swallow whole
scruples of them without the least motion, or operation; so that custom
and conversation will make the fiercest creature familiar.

2 TIIE NATURAL HISTORY OF TOBACCO. 31

Asfor the culture, harvest, preparation, and traffick of tobacco, I
will recommend you to Neander, where, if you are curious, you may
meet with satisfaction*. I cannot omit one story out of Monardus f,
who tells us, that the Indian priests, being always consulted about the
events of war, do burn the leaves of tobacco, and, sucking into their
mouths the smoke by a reed, or pipe, do presently fall into a trance, or
extasy; and, as soon as ever they come out of it, they discover to the
Indians all the secret negotiation, which they have had with the great
d:emon, always delivering some ambiguous answer.

As for the qualities, nature, and uses of tobacco, they may be very
considerable in several cases and circumstances; though King James
himself has both writ, and disputed very smartly against it at Oxford,

and Simon Pauli $ has published a very learned book against it. Some
anatomists || tell us most terrible stories of sooty brains, and black lungs,
which have been seen in the dissections of dead bodies, which, when liv-
jag, had been accustomed to tobacco. We read that Amurath the
Fourth did forbid the use of it, over all the Turkish dominions, under the
most severe penalties; the Turks having an opinion amongst them, that
tobacco will make them effeminate and barren, unfit for war and pro-
creation ; though some think there is a politick desien in it, to obstruct
the sale of it, in the eastern countries, and to prevent the Christians from
establishing} any considerable traffick, from so mean a commodity;
which, perhaps, may be one reason $, why the great Duke ** of Mus-
covy has threatened to punish those merchants, who offer to sell any to-
bacco in his countries, Scach Abas, (the great Sophy of Persia) lead-
ing an army against the Cham of Tartary, made proclamation, that, if
any tobacco was found in the custody of any soldier, he should be burnt
alive, together with his tobacco. Yet, for all this, it may be very bene-
ficial to mankind, as you will conclude from what follows.

Dr. Willis +} recommends tobacco to soldiers, because it may supply
the want of victuals, and make them insensible of the dangers, fatigues,
and hardships, which do usually attend wars and armies; besides, it is
found to cure mangy and ulcerous diseases, which are frequent in camps.
I know a curious lady in the north, that does very great feats in sores
and ulcers by a preparation of tobacco. Our learned and most experi-
enced countryman, Mr. Boyle jf, does highly commend tobacco clys-
ters in the most violent cholick pains, which are often epidemical in ci-
tiesand camps. The renowned Hartman extols the water of tobacco,
against agucs{{j: And the curious, Dr. Grew §§ found the success of the
oil of it, in the tooth-ach, a lint being dipped init, and put into the
tooth. Theeffects of tobacco have been very good, in some violent pains
of the head; as some thousands have experimented, As for the daily
smoaking of it, the state and circumstances of your body must be the’
best guide and rule; if your complexion be lean, hot, and dry, it is an
argument against it, but if cold, moist, and humoral, subject to catarrhs,
rheums, and pains, then there may be a temptation to venture upon

it. So every man must consult his own temper, aud the experience’ of
others.
A modern French author* has writ a peculiar tract of tobacco,
wherein he commends it in convulsions, in pains, and for bringing on
sleep; he extols the oil of it in curing deafness, being injected into the
ear in a convenient vehicle; also against gouty and scorbutical pains of
the joints, being applied in a liniment. A lixivium of tobacco often pre-
vents the falling off of the hair, and is famous for curing the farcy, or
leprosy of cattle. — . :

The use of juniper and elder-berries in our publick-houses.

THESE two berries are so celebrated in many. countries, and so high-
ly recommended to the world by several famous writers, and practi-
tioners, that they need not desire any varnish or argument from me.
The simple decoctions of them, sweetened with a little fine sugar-candy,
will afford liquors so pleasant to the eye,so grateful to the palate,and so be-
neficial to the body, thatI cannot but wonder, after all these charms, they
have not as yet been courted,and ushered into our publick-houses. If the
should onceappear on the stage, Lam confident,thatjboth theWhig and Tory
would agree about them far better than they have done about the medal
and mushroom; nay the very Cynick and Stoick himself would fall in
love with the beauty and extraordinary vertues of these berries, which
are so common, and cheap, that they may be purchased for little or no-
thing. One ounce of the berry, well cleansed, bruised, and mashed, will
be enough for almost a pint of water; when they are boiled together,.
the vessel must be carefully stopped ; after the boiling is over, one
spoonful of sugar-candy may be put in.

The juniper-tree grows wild upon many hills in Surry and Oxford-
shire, and upon Juniper-hill, near Hildersham in Cambridgeshire; be-
sides, in several other parts of England. The berries are most common=
ly gathered about August. The astrological botanists advise us to pull
them, when the sun isin Virgo.

- The juniper-berry is of so great reputation in the northern nations,
that they use it, as we do coffee and thee, especially the Laplanders,
who do almost adore it. Simon Pauli, a learned Dane, assures us, that
these berries have performed wonders in the stone, which he did not
learn from books, or common fame, but from his own observation and
experience; forhe produces two very notable éxamples, that, being tore
mented with the stone, did find incredible success in the use of these
berries ; and, 1f my memory does not fail me, I have heard our most in-
genious and famous Dr. Troutbeck commend a medicine prepared of,
them in this distemper. Besides, Schroder knew a nobleman of Germa-
ny, that freed himself from the intolerable symptoms of the stone by the -
constant use of these berries. Ask any physicianabout them, and he
will bestow upon them a much finer character than my rude pencil can.

hag done to his poor sick neighbours, with a preparation of juniper- -

berries, who is pleased to honour them with the title of the Forester's
Panacea; he extols them in the wind cholick, and many other dis»
tempers. Do but consult Bauhinus and Schroder, the first being the
most exact herbal, the other the most faithful and elaborate dispensatory,
that ever has been published: and you will find great commendation of
these berries in dropsies, gravel, coughs, consumptions, gout, stoppage
of the monthly courses, epilepsies, palsies, and lethargies, in which
there are often an ill appetite, bad digestions, and obstructions.

Take one spoonful of the spirit of juniper-berries, four grains of the
salt of juniper, and three drops of the oil of juniper-berries well rectified:
mix them all together, drink them morning and night in a glass of white-
wine, and you will have no contemptible medicine in all the afore-men-
‘tioned diseases.

Now itis probable, that you have both the spirit, salt, and oil of this
berry in a simple decoction of it, provided it be carefully and skilfully
managed. If this will not satisfy, do but read Benjamin Scarffius, and
John Michael, who have published in Germany two several books of
the juniper, and you may meet with far more persuasive arguments,
than I can pretend to offer you.

The elder-tree. grows almost every where, but it most delights in
hedges, orchards, and other shady places, or on the moist banks
of rivulets and ditches, into which itis thrust by the gardeners, lest,
by its luxury and importunate increase yearly, it should possess all their
ground. We write here of the domestick, common elder, not of the
mountain, the water, or dwarf elders, ours in figure is like the ash; the
leaves resemble those of a walnut-tree, but less; in the top of the
branches, and twigs, there spring sweet and crisped umbels, swelling
with white odoriferous flowers (in June before St, John's eve) which by
their fall give place to a many-branched grapes, first-green, then ruddy,
last of a black, dark purple colour, succulent and tumid. with its winish
liquor. Of all the wild plants it is first covered with leaves, and last
uncloathed of them. It flourishes in May, June, and July, but the
berries arc not ripe till August.

As for the qualities and vertues of elder-berries, I need say no more,
but that Mr. Ray has given a great encomium of them; our learned
Dr. Needham commending them in dropsies, and some fevers; and I
have been informed, that the ingenious Dr. Croon has extolled a spirit of
elder-berries in an epidemical intermitting fever, Schroder says, they
do, peculiarly respect some diseases, attributed to the womb, Mr. ©
Evelyn isso bountitul to his poor Forester, as to assure him, that if he
could but learn the medicinal properties of the elder-tree, he might fetch
aremedy from every hedge, either for sickness or wounds. The same
curious gentleman takes notice, how prevalent these berries are in scor-
butick distempers, and for the prolongation oflife (so famous is the story
of Neander.) I have heard some praise them in bloody fluxes, and
other diseases of the bowels; also in several distempers of the head, as
the falling-sickness, megrims, palsies, letharpies; they are said like-
wise. to promote the monthly inundations of women, and to destroy the
heat of an erysipelas, for which, the flowers themselves are highly celc-
brated by Simon Pauli, who experimented them upon himself with

wonderful success, I could produce several cases out of the best phy-
sical writers, as Forestus, Riverius, Rulandus, &c. where thesé berrics
have acted their parts, even to admiration; but, if you are curious and
Inquisitive after the qualities and nature of them, J will recommend a
learned German, Martyn Blochwitz, to your reading, where you may
entertain yourself with great variety. - Yet I have one thing still to take
notice of, that the same medicine may be prepared out of the spirit, oil,
and salt of this berry, that you have been taught before to make out of
the juniper-berry ;; but you may obtain them all in a simple decoction,
if it be well managed.

You have read here the great use of these two berries, that are more
universally agreeable to all tempers, palates, and cases, than perhaps
any other two simple medicines, which are commonly known amongst
us; so that several persons, being under ill habits of body, and upon
the frontiers of some lingering diseases, cannot but desire to drink them,
when they have occasion to resort to publick-houses, Yet, for all this,
my poor advice will, certainly mect with that fate, which does attend
almost every thing in the world, that is, Laudatur ab his, culpatur ab
illis: but it dreads most of all the Turky and East-India merchant, who
will condemn it in defence of their coffee and thee, which have the
honour of coming from the Levant and China. Besides, I am afraid of
a lash, or afrown, from some young ladies, and little sparks, who scorn
to eat, drink, or wear any thing, that comes not from France, or the
Indies; they fancy poor England is not capable of bringing forth any
commodity, that can be agreeable to their grandeur and gallantry, as
though nature, and God Almighty, had cursed this island with the pro-
ductions of such things, as are every way unsuitable to the complexions
and necessities of the inhabitants; so we cannot but repartee upon these
a-la-mode persons, that, while they worship so much only foreign crea-
tures, they cannot but be wholly ignorant of those at home. His ex-
cellency, the most acute and ingenious ambassador from the Emperor
of Fez and Morocco (who now resides amongst us) is reported to have
advised his attendants to sce every thing, but admire nothing, lest they
should seem thereby to disparage their own country, and shew them-
sclves ignorant of the great rarities and wonders of Barbary.

Poor contempuble berries, fly hence to Smyrna, Bantam, or Mexico;
then the merchants would work through storms and tempests, through
fire and water, to purcbase you, and, on your arrival here would pro-
claim your vertues in all publick assemblies; so true is that common.

is certainly influenced by some pestilential star, that blasts the credit of
its productions.

The Way of making Mum, with some Remarks. upon that Liquor.

IN the first place, I will give some instructions how to make mum,
as it is recorded in the house of Brunswick, and was sent, from thence,
to General Monk.

r

THE WAY OF MAKING MUM, &c. 55

'To make a vessel of sixty-three gallons , the water must be first boiled
to the consumption of a third part; let it then be brewed, according to
art, with seven bushels of wheat-malt, one bushel of oat-malt, and one
bushel of ground beans; and, when it is tunned, let not the hogshead

be too much filled at first. When it begins to work, put to it of the

inner rind of the fir, three pounds; of the tops of fir and birch, of each
one pound; of carduus benedictus dried, three handfuls; flowers of
rosa solis, two handfuls; of burnet, betony, marjoram, avens, penny-
royal, flowers of elder, wild thyme, ofeach one handful and an half;
seeds of cardamum bruised, three ounces; bay-berries bruised one ounce;
put the seeds into the vessel. When the liquor hath wrought a while
with the herbs, and after they are added, let the liquor work over the
vessel as little as may be, fill it up at last, and, when it is stopped, put
into the hogshead ten new-laid eggs, the shells not cracked or broken ;
stop all close, and drink it.at two years old; if carried by water it is
better. Dr. ZEgidius Hoffman added water-cresses, brook-lime, and
wild parsley, of each six handfuls, with six handfuls of horse-radish
rasped in every hogshead; it was observed that the horse-radish made
the mum drink more quick than that which had none.

‘By the composition of mum, we may guess at the qualitics and pro-
perties of it. You find great quantities of the rind, and tops of fir, in
it; therefore if the mum-makers at Londonare so careful and honest, as
to prepare this liquor, after the Brunswick fashion, which is the genuine
and original way ; it cannot but be very powerful against the breeding
of stones, and against all scorbutick distempers. When the Swedes
carried on a war against the Muscovites, the scurvy did so domineer
among them, that their army did languish and moulder away to nothing,
ull, once incamping near a great number of fir-trees, they began to
boil the tops of them in their drink, which recovered the army, even to
a miracle; from whence the Swedes call the fir, the scorbutick tree, to
this very day. Our most renowned Dr. Walter Needham has observed
the great suecess of these tops of fir in the scurvy, as Mr. Ray informs
us; which is no great wonder, if we consider the balsam or turpentine
(with which this tree abounds) which proves so effectual in preserving
even dead bodies themselves from putrefaction and corruption. If my
memory does not deceive me, I have heard Mr. Boyle (the ornament
and glory of our English nation) affirm, that the oil of turpentine pre-
serves bodies from putrefaction much better than the spirit of wine.
The fir, being a principal ingredient of this liquor, is so celebrated by
some modern writers, that it alone may be sufficient to advance the
mum trade among us, Simon Pauli (a learned Dane) tells us the great
exploits of the tops of this tree in freeing a great man of Germany from
an inveterate scurvy. Every physician will inform you, how proper they
are against the breeding of gravel and stones; but then we must be so -
exact, as to pull these tops in their proper season, when they abound
most with turpentine and balsamick parts, and then they may make the,
mum a proper liquor in gonorrheea's. Besides, the eggs may improve
its faculty that way; yet I will not conceal what, I think, the learned
Dr. Merret affirms in his observations upon wines, that those liquors,

36 THE WAY OF MAKING MUM, &c.

into which the shavings of fir are put, may be apt to create pains in the
head; but still it is to be confessed, that the fir cannot but contribute
much to the vigour and preservation of the drink.

By the variety of its malt, and by the ground beans, we may conclude,
that mum is a very hearty and strengthening liquor. Some drink it
much, because jthas no hops, which, they fancy, do spoil our English
ales and beers, ushering in infections; nay, plagues amongst us. ‘Tho.
Bartholine exclaims so fiercely against hops, that he advises us to mix
any thing with our drink, rather than them; he recommends sage, ta-
marisks,. tops of pine, or firj instead of hops, the daily use of which in
our English liquors is said to have been one cause, why the stone is
grown such a common disease among us} Englishmen. Yet, Captain
Graunt, in his curious observations upon the bills of mortality, observes,
that fewer are afflicted with the stone in this present age, than there
were in the age before, though far more hops have been used in this
city oflate than ever.

As for eggs in the composition of mum, they may contribute much to
prevent its growing sowre, their shells swectening vinegar, and destroys
ing acids; for which reason they may be proper in restoring some de-
cayed liquors, if put whole into the vessel. Dr. Stubbs, in some
curious observations made in his voyage to Jamaica, assures us, that
eggs, put whole into the vessel, wil preserve many drinks, even to ad-
miration, in long voyages; the shells and whites will be devoured and
lost, but the yolks left untouched.

Dr. Willis prescribes mum in several chronical distempers, as scurvies,
dropsies, and some sort of consumptions. "The Germans, especially
the inhabitants of Saxony, have so great a veneration for this liquor,
that they fancy their bodies can never decay, or pine away, as long as
they are lined and embalmed with so powerful a preserver; and indeed,
if we consider the frame and complexions of the Germans in general,
they may appear to be living mummies. But to conclude all in a few
words; ifthis drink, called mum, be exactly made according to the
foregoing instructions, it must needs be a most excellent alterative
medicine: theingredients of it being very rare and choice simples, there
being scarce any one disease in nature against which some of them are
not prevalent, as betony, marjoram, thyme, in diseases of the head;
birch, burnet, water-cresses, brook-lime, horse-radish, in the most
inveterate scurvies, gravels, coughs, consumptions, and all obstruc-
tions Avens and cardamom-sceds for cold weak stomachs. Carduus
benedictus, and elder-flowers, in intermitting fevers, Bay-berries and
penny-royal, in distempers attributed to the womb. But it is to be
feared, that several of our Londoners are not so honest and curious, as
to prepare their mum faithfully and truly; if they do, they are so happy
as to furnish and stock their country with one of the most useful liquors
under the sun, it being so proper and effectual in several lingering
aistempers, where there isa depravation and weakness of the blood an
bowels.

There still remains behind a strong and general objection, that may,
perhaps, fall upon thislittle puny pamphlet, and crush it all to pieces,

POSTCRIPT. 37

that is, Ve IM are too short, and imperléct; to which I have only
this to answer,

Ars longa, vita brevis,

‘A perfect natural history of the least thing in the world, cannot be the
work of one man, or scarce of one age; for it requires the heads, hands,
studies, and observations of many, well compared and digested toge-
ther; therefore this is rather an essay, or topick, for men to reason
upon, when they meet together in publick-houses, and to encourage
them to follow the example of Adam, who, in the state of i innocence,
did contemplate of all the creatures that were round about him in
Paradise, but after the fall, and the building ofa city, the philosopher
turned politician.

POSTCRIPT.

LIQUORS and drinks are of such general use and esteem, in all the
habitable parts ofthe world, that a word or two concerning them cannot
be improper or unwelcome,

First, the saps and juices of trees will afford many pleasant and useful
liquors. The Africans and Indians prepare their famous palm-wine
(which they call sura or toddy) out of the sap of the wounded palm
tree, as we do our birch-wine in England, out of the tears of the pierced
birch-tree, which is celebrated in the stone and scurvy, So the syca-
more and walnut, being wounded, will weep out their juices, which
may be fermented into “liquors. Th the Molucca’s, the inhabitants
extract a wine out of a tree called laudan.

Fruitsand berries yield many noble and necessary liquors. Every nation
abounds with various drinks by the diversity of their fruits and vegetables,
England with cyder, perry, cherry, currant, gooseberry, raspberry, mul-
berry, blackberry, and strawberry wine, France, Spain, Italy, Hungary,
and Germany, produce great varieties of wines from the different species
and natures of their grapes and soils. In Jamaica and Brasil they make a
very delicious wine out ofa fruit called ananas, whichis like a pine-apple,
notinferior to Malvasia wine. The Chinese make curious drinks out of
their fruits; so do the Brasilians and Southern Americans; as from their
cocoa, acajou, pacobi, unni, or murtilla’s, We may note here, that
all the juices of herbs, fruits, seeds, and roats will work and ferment
themselves into intoxicating liquors, out of which spirits and brandies
may be extracted. Most natious under the sun have their drunken liquors
and compounds; the Turk his maslack, the Persians their bangue, the
Indians their fulo, rum, arack, and punch. The Arabians, Turks,
Chinese, Tartars, and other eastern countries do make inebriating liquors :
out of their corn and rice; some, rather than not be drunk, will swallow

opium, dutroy, and E dm. or some other intoxicating thing, $0 great
an inclination has mankind to be exalted. Pliny complains, that drunk-
enness was the study of his time, and that the Romans and Parthians

38 A DESCENT FROM FRANCE, &c. |

contended for the glory of excessive wine-drinking. Historians tell us
of one Novellius "Torquatus, who went through all the honourable
degrees of dignity in Rome, wherein the greatest glory and lronour, he
obtained, was for the drinking, in the presence of Tiberius, three gallons
of wine at one draught, before ever he drew his breath, and without
being any ways concerned. Athenzus says, that Melanthius wished
his own neck as long as a crane’s, that he might be the longer a tasting
the pleasure of drinks; yet, what he reports of Lasyrtes is wonderful,
that he never drank any thing, tho’, notwithstanding, he urined as others
do. The same famous author takes notice, that the great drinkers used
to cat coleworts, to prevent drunkenness; neither are some men of our
days much inferior to those celebrated antients. The Germans com-
monly drink whole tankards, and ell-glasses, ata draught, adoring him
that drinks fairly and most, and hating him that will not pledge them.
The Dutchmen will salute their guests with a pail and a dish, making
hogsheads of their bellies.. The Polander thinks him the bravest fellow
that drinks most healths, and carries his liquor best, being of opinion,
that there is as much valour in drinking as fighting. The Russians,
Swedes, and Danes have so naturalised brandy, aqua vite, beer, mum,
&c. that they usually drink our Englishmen to death, so that the most
ingenious author of the Vinetum Britannicum concludes, that tempe-
rance (relatively speaking) is the cardinal virtue of the English.

It is very wonderful what Mr. Ligon and other American travellers
relate of the cassava-root, how out of it the Americans do generally
make their bread, and common drink, called parranow ; yet that root
is known to be a great poison, if taken raw; their drink, called mobby,
is made of potatoes. But we will conclude all with Virgil, who,
speaking of the many liquors in his time, says,

Sed neque quam multe species, nec nomina que sunt,
Est numerus.

A DESCENT FROM FRANCE:
OR,
The French Invasion of England, considered and discoursed.
_ [From half a sheet, folio, printed at London, 1692.]

BBC ep
—

HAT there is, or at least has been, an intended invasion from
France, headed by King James, is too apparent; and that the
greatest encouragement to such an undertaking must be the expected,

s

A DESCENT FROM FRANCE, &c. 39

iftot promised succours ready to join him upon the descent, is as plainly
evident, Now that there can be such a party of Englishmen, and those
professing themselves protestants too (for the Romanists are no part of
our wonder,) whose reason and sense can be so lost and depraved, as to
conspire with such a design, is not a little stupendious.

The business of this paper, therefore, is to examine, what consc-
quences they can expect, from the success of such an invasion; and
what patriots they shall make themselves, in assisting the return of King
James?

In the first place, do they flatter themselves, because, forsooth, the

. greatest part of our invaders, for the more plausible pretext, ae com-

posed of English, Scotch, and lrish, natives and subjects to the crown
of England, that therefore King James's service (so poor a mask) is all
the business of this expedition? Have we forgot since so lately, in
Ireland, the French King could hardly hold the vizor on till the con-
quest of that kingdom, where the very Irish themselves began to be
jealous (and with too much cause) of their pretended friends, but in-
tended lords, the French? And that no Znguis in Herbé, no French
reserve, lies at the bottom of this invasion,

Secondly, Do they think this succour to King James, though in so
important a service as resettling him upon his throne, can deserve any
grateful return; and upon that encouragement they found the safety of
their religion and liberties, in any promises of security from that obli-
gation? Alas his it so late since woful experience convinced them, that
acknowledgment or gratitude are no part of a popish King's principle ;
witness the unkind retuin he made to that very church of England, that,
more than once, were so exemplarily zealous for securing the crown
upon -his head, in their strenuous opposition against both the Bill of
Exclusion, and Monmouth’s Insurrection. And if both those deserving
services, those accuniulated obligations, were such feeble cobweb-lawn;
shall any thing, done in his service now, make a stronger tie upon him?
‘No, quite to the contrary. For example, the church of England had
then twice obliged him, and never once offended him. Besides, there
was not only a coronation oath, but his first voluntary declaration, at
his assumption of the government, one would reasonably think enough
to bind him to performance. But how little all those bonds signify,
when the cancelling hand of Rome came into play; we have but too
much reason to remember. Andifall those ties, I say, could not hold
then; what can we hope for, when there neither is, nor can be any tie
at all to holdhim now? For example, suppose the blind and mistaken
frenzy of some of our protestant zealots (if that name can be proper for
them) could remount him to his throne; what shall they deserve for it,
any more than the title of unprofitable servants? Their turning him
out from the throne, together with the remembrance of the dear Irish
blood shed by them, and the rest of our faults, are such capital trans-
gressions, that the restoring him into it again will not be half our ex-
piation, And supposing he publishes the most, mollifying declaration
upon his landing, that all the eloquence of Rome can put together; ~
shall that oblige him? No, so far from it, that it neither is, nor can

40 A DESCENT FROM FRANCE, &c.

be any more than a scroll of waste paper. For supposing the contents
€t it should run in these flattering insinuations, viz. What wonderous
clemency he would shew us upon our return to our allegiance, and with
what moderation he would reign over us, upon our re-admitting of him
to his throne, with all the most solemn protestations, and what not.
Now as it is unlikely, that King James should ever return without
opposition, and undoubtedly a very strenuous one; it being impossible
we should be all drawn in, with the specious bait of sweet words, and
fair promises; and consequently, he must have a blow for it. Suppos-
ing, nevertheless, I say, his party so strong, and his success so great,-
as to recover his kingdoms: Upon such a recovery, whatever he pro-
mises, in hts declaration, is, from that moment, null and void. For the
consideration is not performed, and consequently, the obligation can-
celled. For instance, he comes not in by our submission, and return
to our allegiance, but by force and conquest. And as such, not only
his declarations, but his very coronation-oath, without the stretch of a
mental reservation, are all actually absolved. And if law, nor oaths,
service, nor fidelity, as above-mentioned, were able to kecp his Romish
zeal in any bounds or limits before; what shall the loosening of them all
expect now? And consequently what driving Jehu must we look for,
when that black day comes (which heaven of its mercy keep far from us.)
And whatever private gratuities or favours some particular eminent
protestants hands may possibly receive for their signal services in this
revolution, nothing of sense, but must conclude us the miserablest nation
and people in the world.

Besides, could we look for miracles, and expect a reign of clemency
from him, our religion and civil rights secured, what a crew of Irish
dear-joys, that come over with him, are here to be rewarded, all pre-
ferment and honours, nay, the fat of the land to be cantoned out
amongst them. And consequently the power in these confiding hands,
the whole nobility, gentry, and commonalty of England must live under
the check and awe of toriesand rapparees, and submit to all the insults
of miscreants and vagrants; and well we compound so cheap.

Nay, though seme people fancy we shall at least enjoy this blessing
of being eased from taxes by his return; itis so much a mistake, that,
in the other extream, that very shadow vanishes too. For what must
this expedition cost the French King, aud what must all his Irish arrears,
and other infinite unaccountable sums, amount to, which must all lie
uponthis ruined nation to satisfy, witlr a very courteous compliment
into the bargain, if the French King will graciously and mercifully
please to demand no more. Nay, perhaps, the whole charge of his
several years naval preparation; (for had King James continued on his
throne, most of all that expence had been saved) must lie at our door,
a score too terrible, even to think of; and, take it altogether, a very
grateful payment out of the protestant pockets, to so prodigious a cham-
pion of the protestant religion, as King Lewis.

But for once (though contrary to common sense) granting we should
allow allin his favour, that the most zealous Jacobite can pretend, viz.
That King James, upon his return to the throne, shall toa tittle perform
every particular article in his very declaration, as plausible soever as

_A DESCENT FROM FRANCE, &c. 4i

it may be penned, viz. We will suppose, that the French King shall
disclaim, directly or indirectly, all pretensions whatever to England;
that the restoration of his friend King James is his only part and design
intbis expedition; and King James, on the other side, shall abjure all
manner of violation to the laws, shall support the protestant religion, _
and (making a sea-mark of his former wreck) shall peaccably keep up to
the full observance of so generous a profession; g granting all this, I say,
and whatever other i imaginary security, his dreaming party can form to
themselves; nevertheless, in the fairest face, let us ; observe the dismal
and tremendous effects of his restoration. It isknown tothe whole world to
what the French ambition tends, viz. universal monarchy. And it is as
notoriously famous, what desolations and ravages the arms of France
have made, and how formidable that successful destroyer is, even to
the whole united powers of Europe. And as his present Majesty King
William is, possibly (without vanity) the leading champion of the whole
confederacy, and all little enough to make head against France; upon
King James's return to the throne, here is not only so potent an arm as
the alliance of Britain lopped off from the confederacy, but added to the
strength of France. ` For though, in his reign before, he only stood
- neuter, with little, or no other assistance, to his idolised grand Lewis,
than his heartiest vows and prayers for the success and prosperity of that
incroaching enslaver of mankind. Yet now he will lie under a more
pressing obligation; and the least return even of common gratitude, for
his remounting him on his throne, will be to list under that tyrant's
standard, and joining the arms of England, to the finishing and crown-
ins the whole designs of that universal aspirer. And as the whole con-
federacy, already, is little enough to match him; upon this revolution
in England, it is impossible to expect less than that the whole cause of
Christendom must sink, and all Europe truckle beneath him. And
whilst the English hands bear so great a part in this fatal turn (to give it
no harder name) what is it but a making ourselves the monsters of man-
kind, the inevitable instruments and tools to that grand cut-throat of
Christendom? And what has some litile palliation on his side, as
having the pretence of renown ard honour, in the quest of laurels and
enlargement of empire, &c. will on our part amount only to butchery
and desolation, for meer butchery and desolation's sake. The glory, if
any, will be Lewiss, and the inlamy England's. Infamy indeed (if we
meet with no worse reward) whén we consider what a barbarous part
we must act in the yoking and shackling of Europe. But suppose it
ends there, and that will be the only brand in the English escutcheon ;
and that Lewis, in his grasp of universal Empire, shall exclude England
from any part of his feudatories, and tributaries, viz. he shall make
golden promises to King James, and once in his life (his first virtue of
that kind) keep faith, and no worse follow (a very unlikely flattery) yet
wih an eternal shame to the old English honour, the sleeping dust of
' Third Edward, and Fifth Henry, and indeed the whole British
codes is our portion, in aggrandising of France, to that prodigious
bulk and growth, and dwindling ourselves to that diminutive and des-
picable state and condition, as are, and must be, the unavoidable con-
sequences of King James s restoration.

42 . ADMIRAL RUSSEL’s LETTER

Granting the Jacobites, therefore, all their own delusions can shape,
that King James shall forget and forgive; shall rule by law, and turna
saint upon a throne: And that the disinterested Lewis shall have no
other designs upon England, but purely King James’s assistance ; yet
still the most, they can look for, is perhaps, to. enjoy a little- English li-
berty (upon their ownsupposition) during the short remnant of King.
James's days, whilst his gray hairs, perhaps, shall fill the scat. But 1
wonder any reasonable man, tbat pretends but to common sense, can
think it possible, that France should ingross the dominion of Europe,
and England ever hope to continue the only exempt from the univer-
sal yoke; is there that frenzy so mad as to fancy it? No, all our best
hopes will be to be swallowed last, and the annexing of Britain, a pro-
vince to l'rance; and consequently to groan under all the slavery and
vassalage of a French government, is the undoubted fate of England ;
and hereby the restoration of King James, in its favourablest aspect,
brings no less fatality along with it, than entailing of misery upon us, to
the end of the world; and all the honour, our protestant restorers will
reap, is to be the ruin and curse of their whole posterity, their very
names and memories loathed and abhorred to all succeéding gene-
rations,

——

Portsmouth June 2, 1692.
MY* LORD;

INCE your Lordship seems to think, that an account, in general, of
the fleet’s good success is not so satisfactory as one setting forth the
particulars; I here send it, with as much brevity ts the matter will ad-
mit of. I must confess J was not much inclined to trouble you in this
nature, not being ambitious to see my name in print on any occasion ;

TO THE EARL OF NOTTINGHAM, 43

but, since it is your Lordship’s commands, I am the more inclined to
give you the best information, I am able, of the action, having seen seve-
ral printed relations not very sincere.

Wednesday, in the evening, being the eighteenth of May, standing over
for Cape de Hogue, 1 ordered Captain Gillam, in the Chester, and the
Charles galley, to lie at such a distance to the westward of the fleet, that
they might discover any signals made from me.

"Thursday the nineteenth, standing with a small gale S.S.W. the wind
at W. and W. and by S. hazy weather, Cape Barfleur bearing then S.W.
and by S. from me distant about seven leagues, between three and four
in the morning, we heard several guns to the westward, and, in a short
time, I saw the two frigates making the signal of sceing the enemy, with
their heads lying to the northward; which gave me reason to think
the enemy lay with their heads that way; upon which, J ordered the
signal to be made for the fleet's drawing into a line of battle; after
which, I made the signal for the rear of the fleet to tack, that, if the
enemy stood to the northward, we might the sooner come to engage.
But, soon after four o'clock, the sun had a little cleared the weather,
and I saw the French fleet standing to the southward, forming thcir line
on the same tack that I was upon; I then ordered that signal for the
rear to tack to be taken in, and, at the same time, bore away with my
own ship so far to leeward, as I judged each shipin thefleet might fetch
my wake or grain; then brought to again, lying by with my fore-top-
sail to the mast, to give the ships, in the fleet, the better opportunity of
placing themselves, as they had been before directed. By eight o'clock
we had formed an indifferent line, stretching from the S.S.W. to the
N N.E. the Dutch in the van, the red in the center, and the blue in the
rear. By mine o'clock, the enemy's vanguard had stretched almost as
far to the southward as ours, their admiral and rear-admiral of the blue,
that were in the rear, closing the line, and their vice-admiral of the same

- division stretching to the rear of our fleet, but never coming within gun-
shot of them. About ten, they bore down upon us, I still lying with
my fore-top-sail to the mast. I then observed Monsieur Tourville, the
French admiral, put out his signal for battle. I gave order that mine
should not be hoisted, till the fleets began to engage, that he might have
the fairer opportunity of coming as near me, as he thought convenient ;
and, at the same time, | sent orders to Admiral Almonde, that, as soon
asany of hissquadron could weather the enemy’s fleet, they should tack,
and get to the westward of them; as also to the blue, to make sail, and
close the line, they being at some distance a-stern. But, as soon as the
flcet began to engage, it fell calm, which prevented their so doing.
About halfan hour after eleven, Monsieur Tourville, in the Royal Sun
(being within three-quarters musquet-shot) brought to, lying by me, at
that distance, about an hour and a half, plying his guns very warmly ;
though I must observe to you, that our men fired their guns faster ¿after
which time, I did not find his guns were fired with that vigour as before,
and [ could see him in great disorder, his rigging, sails, and top-sail
yards being shot, and no body endeavouring to make them serviceable,
and his boats towing of him to windward, gave me reasonto think he was

44 ADMIRAL RUSSEL’s LETTER

much gauled. About two, the wind shifted to the N.W. and by W.
and, some little time after that five fresh ships of the enemy's blue squa-
dron came and posted themselves, three a-head of Monsieur Tourville,
and two a-stern of him, and fired with great fury, which continued till
after three. About four in theevening, there came so thick a fog, that
we could not see a ship of the enemy's, which occasioned our leaving off
firing for a little time, and then it cleared up, and we could see Monsieur
Tourville towing away with bis boats to the northward from us; upon
which I did the same, and ordered all my division to do the like; and,
about half an hour after five, we had a small breeze of wind easterly. I
then made the signal for the fleet to chace, sending notice to all the ships
about me, that the enemy were running. About this time I heard seve-
tal broadsides to the westward ; and, though I couid not see the ships
that fired, I concluded them to be our blue, that, by the shift of wind,
had weathered the enemy; but it proved to be the rear-admiral of the
red, who had weathered Tourville’s squadron, and got between-them and
their admiral of the blue, where they lay firing some time, and then
'Yourville anchored with some sbips of his own division, as also the rear-
admiral of the red with some of his. This was the time that Captain
Hastings, in the Sandwich, was killed, he driving through those ships,
by reason of his anchors not being clear. I could not see this part, be-
cause of the greatsmoke and fog, but have received this information
from Sir Cloudesley Shovel since. I sent to all the ships that I could’
think were near me, to chace to the westward all night; telling them;
I designed to follow the enemy to Brest; and sometimes we could see a
French ship, two, or three, standing away with all the sail they could
make to the westward. About eight, I heard firing to the westward,
which lasted about half an hour, it being some of our blue fallen in with
some of the ships of the enemy in thefog. It was foggy, and very little
wind all night.

Friday the twentieth, it was so thickin the morning, that I could see
none of the enemy's ships, and but very few of our own. About eight
it began to clear up; the Dutch who were to the southward of me,
made the signal of seeing the enemy; and, as it cleared, I saw about
thirty-two or thirty-four sail, distant from us between two and’ three
leagues, the wind at L.N.E. and they bearing from us W.S.W. our fleet
chacing with all the sail they could make, having taken in the signal for
ihe line of battle, that cach ship might make the best of her way after
the enemy, Between eleven and twelve, the wind came to the S.W.
'The French plied to the westward with all the sail they could, and we
after them, About four, the tide of ebb being done, the French anchored,
as also we in forty-three fathom water, Cape Barfleur bearing S. and
by W. About ten in the evening, we weighed with the tide of ebb, the
wind at S.W. and plied to the westward. About twelve, my fore-top-
mast came by the board, having received several shot.

Saturday the twenty-first, we continued still plying after the enemy,
till four inthe morning. The tide of ebb being done, | anchored in fcr-
ty-six fathom water, Cape de Hogue bearing S. and by W. and the is-.
land of Alderney S.S.W. By my topmast’s going away, the Dutch
squadron, and the admiral of the blue, with several of his squadron,

ħad got a great way to windward of me. About seven in the morning,
several of the encmy’s ships, being far advanced towards the Race, "i
perceived driving to the eastward with the tide of flood. Between eight
and nine, when they were driven so far to the eastward that I could fetch
them, I made the signal for the fleet to cut and follow the enemy ; which
they all did, except the aforementioned weathermost ships, which rid
fast, to observe the motion of the rest of the enemy's shipsthat continued
in the race of Alderney. About eleven, I saw three great ships fair un-
der the shore tack and stand to the westward; but, after making two
or three short boards, the biggest of them run a-shore, who presently cut
his masts away ; the other two, being to leeward of him, plied up to
him. The reason, as I judge, of their doing this was, that they could
not weather our sternmost ships to the westward, nor get out a-liead of
us totheeastward. I observing that many of our ships hovered about
those, I sent to Sir Ralph Delaval, vice-admiral of the red, who was in
the rear of our fleet, to. keep such a number of ships and fireships with
him, as might be sufficient to destroy those of tlie enemy ; aud to order
the others to follow me, I being then in pursuit of the rest of the enemy.
An account ofthe performing that service I do not trouble your Lord-
ship with, he having given it you already. About four in the afternoon,
eighteen sail of thee enemy’s ships got to the eastward of Cape Barfleur ;
after which, I observed they hauled in for le Hogue. The rear-admiral
of the red, vice aded] of the blue, and some other ships, were a-head of
me. Aboutten at night, I anchored in the bay of le Hogue, and lay
till four the next morning, bcing

Sunday the twenty-second ; and then I weighed, and stood in near the
land of le Hogue; but, when we found the flood came, we anchored in
good sandy ground. At two in the afternoon we weighed again, and
plied close in with le Hogue, where we saw thirteen sail of the enemy's
men of war hauled closein with the shore. The rear-admiral of the red
tells me, that the night before he saw the other five, which made up the
eighteen. I first chaced, stand to the castward.

Monday the twenty-third, I sent in Vice-admiral Rooke, with seven
ral men of war and fireships, as also the boats of the fleet, to destroy
those ships; but the enemy had gotten them so near the shore, that not
any of our men of war, except the small frigates, could do any service;
but that night Vice-admiral Rooke, with the E burnt six of them.

`- Tuesday “the twenty-fourth, about eight in the morning, he went in
again with the ‘boats, and btt the ap seven, together with several
transport ships, and some vessels with ammunition, the names of which
ships I am not yet able to give your Lordship any other account of,

Wednesday the twenty-fifth, I sailed from le Hogue, ordering the ad-
miral of thé blue, with a squadron of English and Dutch ships under
his command, to run along the enemy’s coast as far as Havre de Grace,
in hopes that some of the before-mentioned five ships, that stood: to the
eastward, might have been got thither; but he informs me, that, upon
his appearing before that place, he could perceive but one or two small
vessels, The number of the enemy’s ships did not exceed fifty men of
war, by the best information, from fifty-six to one-hundred and four
guns; and though it must be confessed, that cur number was superior to
theirs, which probably at first might startle them, yet, by their coming
down with that resolution, I cannot think it had any great effect upon
them. And this I may affirm for a truth, not with any intention to value
our own action, or to lessen the bravery ofthe enemy, that they were
beaten by a number considerably less than theirs; the calmness and
thickness of the weather giving very few of the Dutch, or the Blue, the
opportunity of engaging; which, l am sure, they look upon as a great
misfortune ; and, had the weafher proved otherwise, I do not see how
it was possible for any of them to have escaped us,

This is the exactest account that I am able to give you, which, Į

OF AN

HONEST AND WORTHY PARLIAMENT-MAN.

I HOPE the reader willnot beso unwise, as to expect, that I should
here entertain him with a pompous enumeration of all those imagi-
nary, virtues, wherewith the romantick modellers of a Platonick, or Uto-
pian commonwealth, adorn their paper senators; when the character,
even of a real Cato, would be altogether as useless in-our times, as it is
rarely found to be practised ; and, consequently, as little regarded now, _
as he himself was, by the corrupt age wherein he lived. Not, but that
our nation has, of late, produced as great heroes, as any antiquity can
boast of, yet it cannot be imagined, that they are to be found in every

little town or borrough.

As for my honest and worthy parliament-man, all the qualifications,
that I desire to find in him, are only such as it would be the greatest
affront imaginable to any English gentleman, to think him destitute of ;
that is, that he should be a man of sense, integrity, and honour. Let
him but follow their dictates, and then all the duties which we may
reckon, or think of, to be incumbent on him, will be as easily performed
by him, as they are demonstrable to be the obvious and natural conse-
quents of such principles,

As for his religion, he isa sincere, as well as open professor of that which

by our laws is now become cssential to his office, I mean that of the
Church of England. Nor is he of it, because it is established by law,
or that he was bred in it; but, before he settled his opinion, he mature-
ly examined its first principles, and found them agreeable to the Divine
Will, and'right reason; he discovered the folly and errors of those who
oppose any points of its doctrine. And, being thoroughly satisfied in the
fundamentals, for its discipline, he intirely submits himself to the judg-
ment and authority of those, to whose conduct and discretion, the go-
vernment of the church has been in all ages committed.
But though he bea zealous churchman himself, yet he is so far from
persecuting those who dissent from the established religion, purely for
conscience-sake, that he is ready to pity their weakness, have compas-
sion on their infirmities, and express the greatest.tenderness imaginable
for their persons, whenever that time sball come, when it will be his
chance to meet with those, whose scruples arise rather from a real defect
of their understandings, than some worldly interest or desire of filthy
Jucre, an obstinate, peevish, or self-conceited humour, or the vain-glo-
tious spirit of contradiction.

D4

48 THE CHARACTER OF A PARLIAMENT-MAN, &c.

As for his sentiments in state affairs, in which, next to his religion,
his greatest desire is to be orthodox; before they fix, he always tries
them with the touch-stone of reasow; and, consequently, thinks it law-
ful for him to be a Latitudinarian in judgment, in relation to civil
matters: I mean, so far as not to expect. to find an infallible judge,
amongst either Tories, Whigs, or Trimmers. He takes up opinions
upon trust from no party, nor condemns any, because they are of it,
who differ from him in other things. And, therefore, he could not
but smile, to see, in our late times of dissension, so many, in all out-
ward appearance, honest and thinking men, continually jog on, like a
gang of pack-horses, after the leaders of their several parties; and
though they wander after these blazing, but deceitful lights, into never
so many crooked and bye paths, yet, with an implicit and blind faith,
still believe themselves to be in the right way.

For his own part, his only aim is at the honour, safety, and interest
of his country. On this mark, he keeps, his eye constantly fixed; nor
can the dreadful frowns of an enraged prince, or the horrid clamours of
a possessed multitude, ever be able to remove him from his point. He
finds that his beloved virtue brings such sohd, though invisible rewards
along with her, that he is equally insensible to the promising smiles of
fawning great ones that would tempt, and the terrible menaces of the
fiercest demagogues, that would force him to forsake ber. He can
securely, without any fear of infection, deride the folly, and pity the
madness of those who forfeit their honesty, to found their happiness
upon the unstable basis of court favours, or popular applause.

He truly enjoys all that freedom in his actions, which he thinks his
duty to procure for, aud defend his countrymen in. Heis wholly a
stranger to the servile ambition of gaining the favourable opinion of
others; nor can he tell what it is to fear the censures of any. He is
directed, influenced, cr byassed by none; and, whilst he is engaged in
his country's service, he thinks the most glorious epithets, the world
can fix upon him, are those of a rigid, inflexible, ill-natured, honest
man.

When he discovers that any have designs contrary to the publick
good, let their authority and power be never so great, he opposes their
opinions, with all the courage and zeal his generous principles can
furnish him with, without any respect to their persons. But when the
time comes, wherein the right side shall turn uppermost, as after all
revolutions it ever will at last, he is then so far from trampling upon his
fallen adversaries, that he becomes, I mean, as a private man, most
tender of their persons, without any respect to their opinions.

He is altogether unacquainted with that base and degenerate passion,
called hatred. . Yet, there is one sort of men, whom he thinks worthy
of the utmost degree of his contempt and scorn; I mean, those false and
treacherous friends who have formerly gone along with, nay, much
before him, in the same cause; those pretended zealots for their coun-
try and religion, who, for their own paultry interest, or some by-ends,
made it their business to set us together by the ears, with their noisy
clamours against popery and slavery ; but, when the danger was become
real, and just hanging over opr heads, when our church and state were

designed for immediate ruin, with the same mercenary breath, servilcly
offered themselves to be employed as tools, in the destruction of them
both. These, he conceives, ought to have a mark put upon them, as
the worst of traytors; he takes them to be the vilest of men, or rather
(to use the expression of one, who, perhaps, may think himself con-
cerned here) to carry ‘ nothing of men, that is, Englishmen, but the
shape.’ `

But I now find myself necessitated, to take my hand from off the
tablet, lest, instead of compleating the portraicture of an honest par-
liament-man, I should insensibly touch upon them, who deserve ano-
ther character. My intention then being, like my honest patriot's,
willing to offend no man, I shall take my leave of him at present, with
this remark only, That a nation, where such as he preside at the helm,
will, without doubt, be altogether as happy, as if it were steered by
Plato’s philosophising governors, or governing philosophers.

THE REIGN OF KING CHARLES THE FIRST:

Wherein the true Causes of the Civil War are impartially delineated, by
Strokes. borrowed from Lord Clarendon, Sir Philip Warwick, H.
L’Estrange, and other most authentick and approved Historians.

London, printed in Quarto, containing twenty-eight pages.

P is a melancholy reflection, that the best things, through the per-
verseness of our nature, are generally corrupted to the worst ends;
and that the liberty we enjoy in England, under the best of queens,
and the best-constituted government, should, by some licentious and
servile writers, be abused to the defaming honest, patriots, and brand-
ing publick-spirited nations; which naturally tends to the bringing in
slavery : for nothing can more effectually destroy our happy constitution,
than the heats and animosities industriously raised and fomented amongst
us by a party of designing men, who, under pretence of vindicating
the memory of the royal martyr, asperse and calumniate those who en-
deavour to compose our differences.

A sad instance of this we find in the usage the Reverend Dr. Kennet,
mae in Divinity, Archdeacon of Huntingdon, and Minister of St.
Botolph’s without Aldgate, has lately met with, upon account of an
excellent sermon by him preached before his parishioners, on the thirty-
first of January last, and since made publick in print, to clear the mis-
apprehension of some few who heard it, and to silence the confident,
though false, report of a far greater number who did not hear it.

The publication of this sermon has, in a great measure, had a contrary
effect to what that reverend divine ought reasonably to bave expected.
For, though it has undeceived many honest people, yet, at the same
time, it has given birth to several libels, in which his innocent expres-
sions are maliciously made to signify what the author never had in his
‘thoughts.

The-tirst thing, excepted against by the doctor's unfair censurers, is
the title, as well : 4 the subject of his sermon, endeavouring to insinuate
to the wond, ‘That civil war is an expression that palliates the crime,
rather than any ways agreeable to the solemnities of.the day? How this
can give offence to any, is hard to be imagined, since the word ‘ civil
war’ was ever used as synonymous with rebellion, even by the warmest
sticklers for that unfortunate prince; as Dr. Kennet himself does, in
"ide places in this very sermon,

A VIEW, &c. i 51

_ However, which of the two words, civil war, or rebellion, is the
properest, history alone can determine; and therefore let us listen to
historians.

* Things were now going fast on (says Dr. Welwood *) towards lessen-
ing the confidence betwixt the Kingand parliament; and yet there were
not wanting endeavours, on both side 's, to accommodate matters by soft
and healing methods, when the King’s coming to the house of commons
in person, to demand five of their members, “whom he had ordered the
day before to be impeached of high-treason, did put allinto combustion,
and gave occasion to the house to assert their privileges. This was the
most unlucky step King Charles could have made at that juncture, and
the indiscretion of some, that attended the King to the lobby of the
house, was insisted upon, as an argument, that the King was resolved
to use violence upon the parliament; which, it is to be presumed, was
a thing far from his thoughts. Whoever they were, that advised the
King to this rash attempt, are justly chargeable with all the blood that
was afterwards spilt; for this sudden action was the first and visible
ground of all our following miseries. For, immediately upon it, there
was nothing but confusion and tumults, fears and jealousics every where,
which spread themselves to Whitehall in the rudest manner, so that,
his Majesty thinking himself not safe there, he retired with his family
to Hampton-court. The King leaving the parliament in this manner,
there were scarceany hopes of a thorough reconciliation. But when,
after a great many removes from place to place, his Majesty came to
set up his standard at Nottingham, there ensucd a fatal and bloody war;
which, it is reasonable to blues was never designed by either side,
Each party blamed the other for beginning this war, and it is not easy
to determiue, which of them began it. Though the King made the first
steps that seemed to tend that way, such as, raising a troop for a guard
to his person, summoning the gentlemen and frecholders of lee
counties to attend him in his progress to the north, and ordering arms
and ammunition to be bought in Holland for his use; yet the parliament
did as much at the same time, for they likewise raised guards of their
own, and took care that the magazine of Hull should not fall into the
Kings hands. So that the King and parliament prepared themselves
insensibly for war, without considering, that these preparations must
gradually and inevitably come to blows in the end. —-—— During the
whole course of this unnatural war, it was hard to divine what would
be the fate of England, whether an absolute, unlimited monarchy, a
new huddled-up commonwealth, oradownright anarchy. If the King
should prevail, the first was to be feared; if the parliament, the fcra
was to be apprehended ; and, if the army should set up for themselves,

as afterwards they did, the last was inevitably to follow. All which
some of the best men about the King wisely foresaw, and trembled at
the event of every battle that was fought, whoever happened to be the
victors. It was the dread of these misfortunes, that hindered the lords
and commons, whom the King called to Oxford, to assume to them-
selyes the name of the Parliament of England, and from declaring those

met at Westminster REBELS; though the King again and again impor-
tuned them to it, and took their refusal so ill, that, in one of his Jetters
to the Queen, he called them in derision his Mungrel Parliament.’
Thus far Dr. Welwood. Let us now hear the account the Earl of
Clarendon gives of the beginning of the civil war *. < The rebellion of
Ireland, says that noble historian, which was highly detrimental to the
King's affairs that began to recover life, broke out in all parts of the
kingdom, during his Majesty's stay in Scotland, and made a wonderful
impression upon the minds of men, who were induced to believe, that it
was influenced by the court; the scandal of which aspersion stuck upon
the Queen'sskiris, Some time after, the King commanded his attorney-
general to accuse the Lord Kimbolton, and five commoners, of high-
treason; and, the next day, his Majesty, attended by his ordinary
guard and some few. gentlemen, came to the house of commons; and,
commanding his attendants to wait without, himself, with the prince
elector his nephew, went into the house, to the great astonishment of
all, to demand the impeached members: but finding, as he said, the
birds were all flown, he returned to. Whitehall, and the house, in great
disorder, adjourned till the next day. When the Lord Digby, the only
person that gave the counsel, found the ill success of the impeachment
in both houses, he advised the King to go the next morning to the Guild-
hall, and acquaint the mayor and aldermen of the grounds of it. As
he passed through the city, the rude people crouded together, crying
out, ** Privilege of parliament, privilege of parliament.” However, the
King, thougn much mortified, pursued his resolution, and, having
dined with one of the sheriffs, he returned to Whitehall; and, the next
day, a proclamation came forth, for the appreliension of the accused
members, forbidding any persons to conceal, or entertain them. These
proceedings of the King created a wonderful change in the minds of all
sorts of people; allthe former noise of plots against the parliament,
which before had been laughed at, was now thought to be built upon
good grounds; and what hitherto had been only whispered of Ireland,
was now talked aloud, and published in print. They, who with the
greatest courage had thwarted seditious practices, were now confounded
with the thoughts of what had been done, and what was like to follow.
Though they were far from imagining the accused members had been
much wronged, yet they thought they had been called to an account
at a very unseasonable time; and the exposing the dignity and safety
of the King, in his coming in person, in that manner, to the house of
commons, and going the next day to the Guildhall, where he met with
such reproaches to his face, added to their anger and indignation: all
which was justly charged upon the Lord Digby, who was before less
beloved. than he deserved, and was now the most universally hated ef
any man in the nation; and yet continued in his Majesty's confidence.—
When the King perceived how ill his accusation against the five members
succeeded, and that all, who expressed any signal zeal to his service,
would be removed from him, under the notion of delinquents, he rc-
solved the Queen should remoxe to Portsmouth, and that himself would

KING CHARLES THE FIRST. 53
go to Hull (where his magazine lay ;) and that, being secured in those
‘places of strength, whither his friends might resort and be protected, he
would sit quiet, till the angry part could be brought to reason. But
this resolution was discovered to the leading members, who obtained
orders from the parliament, for securing Hull and Portsmouth; for
which reason, and a promise from several lords, that they would vigor-
ously unite to support the regal power, together with the extreme fear
the Queen had of danger, that counsel was laid aside, and it was con-
cluded the Queen should transport herself to Holland, there to provide
arms and ammunition; and the King retire to York, and listen to no
particulars, till he knew how far the alteration would extend. Hitherto
the greatest acts of hostility, excepting Sir John Hotham’s denying the
King entrance into Hull, were no more than votes and orders; but now
the King saw he was so far from having Hull restored, that the garison
there increased daily, so that Sir John Hotham was better able to take
York, than his Majesty to recover Hull; and therefore he thought
it now high time to follow their example, and put himself into
a posture of defence.’ Hereupon, such gentlemen, as were willing,
listed themselves, by his Majesty's appointment, into a troop of horse,
of whom the Prince of Wales was made captain; which, with one re-
giment of trained-bands, was his body-guard. As soon as they heard
at London, that the King actually had a guard, these votes were pub-
lished by both houses: “That the King, seduced by evil counsellors,
intended to make war against the parliament: that, whensoever he did '
so, it would be a breach of the trust reposed in him, contrary to his
oath, and tending to the dissolution of the government: and that who-
soever shall serve him, or assist him in such wars, were traytors,» by the
fundamental laws of the kingdom, and had been so adjudged by two
acis of parliament, 2 Rich. II. and 1 Hen. IV." ‘These votes wera
sent to the King at York, with a petition, that he would disband his
new-raised forces, and content himself with his ordinary guard; other-
wise they should hold themselves bound with their utmost care to serve
the parliament, and secure the publick peace.’ i
Upon the, King’s denying their demand, they began to provide for the
raising of an army: and here the same noble author thinks it not amiss
to consider the method of God’s justice, ‘ That the same principles
should be used to the extorting all sovereign power from the crown,
which the crown had a little befure used tg extend its authority beyond
its bounds, to the prejudice of the just rights of the subject. A sup-
posed necessity was then thought reason sufficient to create a power of
taxing the subject, as they thought convenient, by writs of ship-money,
never known before; and a supposed necessity is now more fatally con-
cluded a good plea to exclude the crown from the exercise of any power,
by an ordinance of pariiament, for ordering the militia, never before
heard of; and the same maxim of ‘Salus populi suprema lex, which had
been uscd to break in upon the liberty of the people, was applied for
the destroying the rights of the crown. The King (pursues our author)
conceiving the rumours spread abroad might induce many to believe he
intended to raise a war against his parliament, he professed in council,
and said, ** He declared to all the world, that he ever had an abhor:

54 . A VIEW OF THE REIGN OF

rence to such designs ; but that all his endeavours aimed at a sure sets
tlement of the protestant religion, the just privileges of parliament, the
liberty of the subject, the law, peace, and prosperity of this kingdom."
However, about this time, the King, by the advice of some eminent jud-
ges and lawyers, issued outa declaration concerning the militia, assert-
ing the right of the crown in granting commissions of array for the bet-
ter government thereof, and dispatched those commissions into all coun-
ucs, expresly forbidding any obedience to be paid to the ordinance for
the militia by both houses, under the penalty of ligh-treason. This
only exasperated the paper-combates in declarations, each party insist-
ing the law was on their side; to which the people yielded obedience,
as they saw it for their conveniency. | Some men, well-affected to the
crown, and averse to the extravagant carriage of the Houseof Commons,
could not conceal their aversion to the commission of array, as a thing
unwarrantable by law; and many believed, if the King had applied
himself to the old known way of lords lieutenants, and their depuues, it
had been more beneficial to his service; for the people, having never
heard of a commission of array, were easily blown up to a jealousy by
the specious suggestions of the houses, Some time after, the King made
a vain attempt upon Hull, and, upon his return to York, found himself,
by an accident that fell out, under an absolute necessity of declaring
war. The accident was, that Colonel Goring, governor of Portsmouth,
had declared for his Majesty, and refused to obey the parliament; who
"had thereupon sent Sir William Waller, with an army under his com-
mand, to reduce that town. The King's affairs received a considerable
reputation, in that so important a place as Portsmouth, and so good an
officer as Goring was returned to his duty ;* whereupon, he forthwith
published a declaration, in which he recited all the insolent rebellious.
actions of the two houses against him, forbidding all his subjects to pay
any obedience to them; and at the same time published his proclama-
tion, “requiring all men, who could bear arms, to come to him at Not-
tingham, where he intended to set up his royal standard ; which all his
good subjects were obliged to attend." Thus far the Earl of Clarendon.
By all which passages it appears, that, after reciprocal provocations
given, and many uuwarrantable things done on both sides, two con-
tending parties, in the same nation, rose up in arms, endeavouring
the one to conquer and destroy the other; aud what is this but a civil
war? .

The authors of the libels published against Dr. Kennet are so unfair,
as to suspect the praises he bestows, in the first page of his sermon, up-
on King Charles, whom he sincerely and justly calls * the martyr of the `
day, and one of the most virtuous and most religious of our English princes,’
as if, thereby, he only intended to conveigh the deadly poison more easily
and effectually. But, to pass over these malicious slurs, let us proceed
to the vindication of the Doctor's gencral positions; the first of which
is, * That a French interest and alliance was one of the leading causes of
the King's murder.

To prove this, Dr. Kennet justly * remarks, * That there ‘was that
frame and constitution in our ancestors, that their true English hearts

* See his Sermon, p. T.

KING CHARLES THE FIRST. 55

had continually some secret aversion and antipathy to that neighbour-
ing nation; and that England and France, like Rome and Carthage,
stood always jealous and reviling one another. The old English aversa-
tion, contiuues he, seems to have begun with the Norman conquest;
when our good fore-fathers, then lately secured by the best laws and li-
berties in the world, were invaded and subdued by a pretender from
France; and they soon felt that foreign yoke to be so hard and grievous,
that they would gladly have shaken it off; but, the more patience they
were forced to, the more they hated those insolent new lords and masters,
calling often for their old liberties and the laws of King Edward. This
anger, and sort of aversion to the French, did continue fixed and rooted
in the minds of our right English forefathers; and it was this inbred spi-
rit of emulation, that so often led our English armies into the bowels of
France, and, in the reprisals of honour, conquered that kingdom more
than once, but never once more suffered this kingdom to be conquered by
the French.’ To deny this would betray an absolute ignorance of our
English history, and therefore I shall not go about to illustrate it by
examples,

It is certain, that nothing could everallay the natural aversion, the En-
glish have to the French, but the conformity in religion with some of
the latter; and it was only upon that score, that the nation was well
pleased with the seasonable assistance, which Queen Elisabeth yielded,
from time to time, to the reformed of France. And, by the succours
that politick princess was ail along sending to the United Provinces, she
put an invincible bar to the progress Spain and Rome were then making
Aowards universal empire, and kept the balance of power even between
the two great monarchies of Europe.

But the next prince, * James the First, did not tread in her steps,
while he governed. ‘ National, or the protestant interest was no where
pursued; secret negotiations were carried on with the Pope; the protes-
tants were not only oppressed in Germany, but reduced to the last ex-
tremity ; and besieged in Montauban by Lewis the Thirteenth, and in
Rochelle by Count Soissons and the Duke of Guise; and all, that was
done towards their relief from hence, was by a mediation carried on
withoutany vigour. And, which gave the people dreadful apprehen-
sions, Spain, in those days, was still formidable, and an over-balance for
all the rest of Europe; whose designs, instead of being opposed, were
promoted by England, and the King meanly courted an alliance with
his greatest enemy. The fear of universal monarchy awakened the whole
kingdom, and brought on that parliament, which was assembled in 1621;
where very plain remonstrances were presented to the throne, setting
forth the dangers that threatened the nation, who still had a fresh sense
of the calamities their ancestors had suffered, under the reign of Queen
. Mary. But Spanish gold had charmed our court; and that parlia-
ment was dismissed in anger, and several of the principal members were
imprisoned, who could not sit silently and see their country iost. Thus
this old prince chose rather to follow the dictates of bis own will, and .
-the pernicious advice of his favourites and ministers, than the faithful

and disinterested counsel of his parliaments, who addressed to him te
arm, and to enter into such leagues as might oppose the growth of the
Spanish monarchy. But he entertained secret hopes, that so potent an
alliance, as that with Spain appeared to be, would make him more pow-
erful over his own people; and so, notwithstanding the representations
of hts Lords and Commons, in order to accomplish this match, he broke
some of those wholesome and necessary laws, made against papists, which
at last proved fatal to him and his posterity; for, by his rough dealings
with the House of Commons, he then sowed the seeds of that discontent,
which ended in the ruin of his son. The general clamours of the peo-
ple, and their fear of the power of Spain, produced in that reign ano-
ther parliamenr, which sat in 1623, and then the Spanish match was
broken off.’ |

Hereupon, the states general of the United Provinces recommended a
protestant lady to King James; but that prince, being resolved to have
the daughter of a great King for his son, did fatally turn his eye to Hen-
rietta Maria, daughter of France,

‘The marriage-treaty was not so fair, smooth, and plausible in the
progress, as in the entrance. For the French,perceiving that King James
desired the match unmeasurably, abated of their forwardness, enlarged
their demands in favour of the papists, as the Spaniards had done be-
fore; and strained the King to the concession of such immunities, as he
had promised to his parliament he would never grant, upon the media-
tion of foreign princes*.’ Cardinal Richelieu, who began to have the sole
management of the French King’s affairs, in concert with Spada, the
Pope’s nuncio, took all imaginable precautions, by this treaty, to ad-
vance the Romish religion and interest, hoping, as indeed it proved, that
the ecclesiasticks, the queen was allowed to bring over with her, would
propagate the popish faith; and that the descendants of that marriage,
who were to be under the tuition and government of their mother, till
they came to the full age of thirteen, would by that time have sufficient-
ly imbibed her religion, and should in time sit upon the English throne;
which the protestants of this kingdom felt to their sorrow; for, of Hen-
riettta’s two sous 3, who reigned after their father f, onel| did all along
secretly favour the Roman catholicks, and, ‘ $ after a continued dissi-
mulation, and a most scandalous life, died in that ** persuasion; and
the other +4, * though not so dissolute in his manners, did not scruple to
own his true sentiments, and, notwithstanding his solemn promise to
maintain the protestant religion, by law established, endeavoured by open
force to destroy it.

The conclusion of the marriage treaty was attended, in France, with
many outward and voluntary expressions of joy, as, bonfires, and illumi-
nations ; but it was only by express orders from the privy-council, that
the like was done in London. For as Dr. Kennet says very justly,
* our English people never could heartily approve any royal match in-
to the court of France; and, wherever any such match was entered into
by our former governors, it seems to have been against the genius of our

people, and therefore fatally against the interest of these princes.’ He
instances the two unfortunate reigns of Edward the Second, andRichard
the Second, whose marriages into that court had the consequence of a
calamitous life, and an untimely death, to these two monarchs.

_ © There was somewhet of the like pernicious influence, adds Dr.
Kennet that worked upon the tragedy of this day. Our royal mar-
tyr, by taking a royal consort from the Bourbon family, did apparently
bring over some evils and mischiefs that disturbed his whole reign : For,
within less than one year, the French servants of that queen grew so im-
perious and insolent, that the King was forced to discharge them, and to
humble them by a return into their own country."

* A very sad doom it was certainly to the French, says one of our *
English historians; but, as the animadversion was extreme severe, so
their offences were in like degree heinous. "The bishop of Mende, the
queen's almoner, stood charged for putting intolerable scorn upon, and
making religion itself do penance, by enjoining her majesty, under the
notion of penance, to go barefoot, to spin, and to wait upon her family
servants at their ordinary rcpasts, to walk on foot in the mire on a rainy
morning, from Somerset-house to St. James's; her confessor, mean
while, like Lucifer himself, riding by her in his coach; but, which is
worst of all, to make a progress to T'yburn, there to present her devo-
tions for the departed souls of the Papists, who had been executed at
that place, on account of the gunpowder treason, and other enormous
crimes, A most impious piaculary, whereof the King said acutely, that
the action can have no greater invective than the refation, The other
sex were accused of crimes of another nature, whereof, Madam St.
George was, asin dignity of office, so in guilt, the principal; culpable
she was in many particulars, but her most notorious and unpardonable
fault was, her being an accursed instrument of some unkindness between
the King and Queen. These incendiaries once cashired, the Queen,
who formerly shewed so much waspish protervity, soon fel] into a mode
of loving compliance. . But, though this renvoy of her Majesty's servants
imported domestick peace, yet was it attended with an ill aspect from
France, though our King, studying to preserve fair correspondence with
his brother, sent the Lord Carleton, with instructions to represent a true
account of theaction, with all the motives to it; but-his reception was
very coarse, being never admitted to audience. Lewis dispatched Mon-
sieur the Marshal de Bassompierre, as extraordinary ambassador to our
King, to demand the restitution of the Queen's domesticks; which he at
last obtained for most of them.’

* It + was this match,’ adds Dr. Kennet, * that began to corrupt our
nation with French modes and vanities; (which gave occasion to Mr.
Prynn, to write that severe invective, called Histrio- Mastix, against the
stage-plays) to betray our counsels to the French court; to weaken the
poor protestants in France, by rendering ineffectual the relief of Rochelle;
nay, and to lessen our own trade andnavigation, These ill effects, be-
yond the King’s intention, raised such a jealousy, and spread such a

damp upon the English subjects, thatit was unhappily turned into one
of the unjust occasions of civil war: Which indeed began more out of
hatred to that party, than out of any disaffection to the King. The
people thought themselves too much under French counsels, and a
French ministry, or else, they could never have been drawn aside into
that great rebellion, This interest, when suspected to prevail, brought
the king into urgent difficulties; and in the midst of them the aid and
assistance, winch” that interest offered him, did but the more effectually
weaken him. On this side the water, the French services betrayed him ;
and on the other side, the French policies were at work to destroy
him.’

And indeed, as Queen Henrictta had a mighty, if not a supreme in-
fluence over King Charles's counsels, so did her mother, Mary de Me-
dicis, who came over by her invitation, administer great cause of jea-
lousy to this nation. * The people (says the same* historian I men-

*uoned before) were generally malecontent at her coming, and wished
her farther off. For they did not like her train and followers, which had
often been observed to be the sword or pestilence, so that she was beheld
assome meteor of ill signification. Nor was one of these calamities
thought more the effect of her fortune than inclination ; for. her restless
and unmconstantspirit was prone to embroil all. wheresoever she came,
And besides, as Queen Henrietta was extraordinary active in raising
moncy, among the Roman Catholicks- of this kingdom, to enable
King Charles to make war against his subjects of Scotland, so was she
extreme busy in fomenting the unhappy differences between his Majesty
and his English parliament,’

* The French, says the Earl of Clarendon T, according to their na-
ture, were much more active and more intent upon blowing the fire.
The former commotions in Scotland, had been raised by special encou-
ragement, if not contrivànce, of the Cardinal Richelieu; and by his ac-
tivity all these distempers were carried on till his death, Yd by his rules
and principles afterwards, Since the beginning of this parliament (in
1640) the French ambassador, Monsieur la Ferté, dissembled notito
have notable familiarity with those who governed most in the two hou-
ses, discovered to them whatsoever he knew, or could reasonably devise,
to the prejudice of the King’s counsels and resolutions; and took all op-
portunitics to lessen and undervalue the King’s regal power, by apply-
ing himself on publick occasions of state, and in his Majesty’ $ name, and
toimprove his interest to the two houses of parliament, which had in no
age b fore been ever known.---Besides these indirect artifices in the
hse ambassador, very many of the Hugonots in France were decla-
red enemies to the King, And, as this animosity proved of unspeakable
inconvenience and damage to the. King, so the occasion, from whence
these disaffections grew, was very imprudently administered by the state
here. Not to speak of the business of Rochelle, which, though it stuck
deep in all, yet most imputed the counsels of that time to men that were
dead, and not a fixed design of the court. They had a great quarrel,

which made them believe, that their very religion was persecuted by
the Church of England. Queen Elisabeth; finding and well know-
ing what notable uses might be made of the French, Dutch, and Wal-
loons, who, in the time of King Edward the Sixth, transplanted them-
selves into England, enlarged their privileges by new concessions; draw-
ing by this means great numbers over, 'and suffering them to enjoy the
exercise of the reformed religion after their own manner. And so they
had churches in Norwich, Canterbury, and other places, as well as in
London; whereby the wealth of those places marvellously increased.
The same charters of liberty were continued to them, during the peace-
able reign of King James, and in the beginning of this King’s reign.
Some few years before these troubles, when the power of church-men
grew more transcendent, and indeed the faculties and understandings of
lay-counsellors more dull, lazy, and unactive, upon pretence that the

e

French, Dutch, and Walloons exceeded the liberties which were grant- |

ed to them, and that, under the notion of foreigners, many English sepa-
rated from the church, the council-board connived at, whilst the bishops
did someacts of restraint, with which these congregations grew generally dis-
contented, and thought the liberty of their consciences to be taken from
them; which caused in London much complaining of this kind, but
much tore in the diocess of Norwich, where Dr. Wren, the bishop
there, passionately and warmly proceeded against them; so that many
left the kingdom, to the lessening the wealthy manufacture there of ker-
seys and narrow cloths.---And whereas in all former times, the ambassa-
dors, and all foreign ministers of state, employed from England, into any
parts where the reformed religion was exercised, frequented their church-
es, gave all possible countenance to their profession, and particularly
the ambassador Lieger at Paris, had diligently and constantly frequent-
ed the church at Charenton, and held a fair intercourse with those of
that religion throughout the kingdom, by which they had still received
advantage. The contrary to this was now with great industry practised,
and some advertisements, if not instructions,, given to the ambassador
there, to forbear any extraordinary commerce, with the men of that pro-
fession. And the Lord Scudamore, who was the last ordinary ambas-
sador there, before the beginning of this parliament, not only declined
going to Charenton, butfurnished his own chapel with such ornaments as
gave great offence and umbrage to those of thereformation there, who had
notseen the like. Besides that, he was carcfnl to publish upon all occa-
sions, that the Church of England looked not on the Hugonots as a part
of their communion: Which was likewise too much and too industri-
ously discoursed at home.---They of the Church of England, who com-
mitted the greatest errors this way, had undoubtedly not the least
thoughts of making alterations in it, towards the countenancing of po-
pery, as has been uncharitably conceived; but unskilfully believed,
that the total declining the interest of that party, where it exceeded the
necessary bounds of reformation, would make this Church of England
looked upon with more reverence. And so the Church of England, not
giving the same countenance to those of the religion in foreign parts,
which it had formerly done, no sooner was discerned to be under a cloud
at home, but those of the religion abroad were glad of the occasion, to
x E 2

publish their malice against her, and to enter into the same conspiracy
against the crown, without which they could have done little hurt to the
church. —

* Many tender lovers of their faith and country, says Dr. Kennet *,
might well deplore the unhappiness of that alliance, with France, which
gave no small occasion to the calamity and the curse of this day; for it
was from thence, that did arise the apprehensions and fears of popery :
Popery that irreconcileable enemy, not only to our reformed faith and
worship, but to our civil rights, liberties, and properties, to our estab-
lished laws, and to our settled constitution. ^ [t was for this wise and
good reason, that our first reformers would never bear with any express
toleration of popery, nor with any long connivanee at st. That excellent
young Josiah, King Edward VI, *ould not dispense with his own sister
to have publick mass in her own family. Queen Elisabeth indulged
them no longer than while there were some hopes to reclaim them. -Her
next successor, King James, was a champion against popery, and
strenuously opposed it, both as a wise governor, and a learned writer;
and this gave peace and happiness to the greatest part of his administra-
tion. But, when toward the decline of it, he fell into a treaty fora
match with Spain, and, during that treaty, did in a manner suspend
the laws against the papists, and gave hissubjects an occasion to believe,
that one article of that match was to be a toleration of popery, this
gave such universal jealousy and discontent to his people, and the par-
liaments of them, that it threatened apparent danger; and, if that treaty
had not broke off, and thereby eased the minds of people, we know not
what might have been in the end thereof. For certainly his royal son,
the martyr of this day, might justly impute many of his troubles to
these fears and jealousics of popery. And they really began with the
French alliance, where one article was to have a publick chapel, and
priests and mass for the queen and her houshold. This gave an oppor-
tunity of open resort to all papists, foreigners and natives; this gave
shelter and protection to swarms of Jesuits and other emissaries from
Rome; this gained an interest at court for pardons and for patents of
profit and preferment to the leading Roman Catholicks; this brought
over one or two Nuncio’s from the pope, to attend upon the Queen. In
short, this did give countenance to popery; and therefore did cast
a damp and dread upon many sincere protestants; and did put them
into such terrible apprehensions of the Komans coming to take away
their place and nation, that this strength of fear too much began the
civil war, and helped to carry it forward to the innocent and sacred
blood shed upon this day.’ me

Inall these, Dr. Kennet speaks with the most authentick and faithful
historians: * The jesuits, seminary priests, and other recusants, says t
H. L'Estrange, presuming protection, by reason of the late match, con-
tracted so much insolence, that at Winchester, and many other places,
they frequently passed through the churches in time of divine service,
houting and ho-lo-ing, not only to the disturbance of that duty, but

scorn of our religion; yea, and one popish lord, when the King was at
chapel, was heard to prate on purpose louder, in a gallery adjoining,
than the chaplain prayed, whereat the King was so moved, that he sent
this message to him: Either let him come and do as we do, or else I
will make him prate farther off,’

In the year 1627, a notable discovery was made of a college of jesuits
at Clerkenwell, of which the same * author gives us this account, ‘ The
first information was given by one Crosse, a messenger to Secretary
Coke, whereupon he sent the sheriff to attack them; who, coming with
a formidable power, found all the holy foxes retired, and sneaked away ;
but, after long search, their place of security was found out, it being a
lobby behind a new brick-wall wainscotted over ; which, bcing demo-
lished, they were presently unkennelled, to the number of ten. They
found also divers letters from the pope to them, impowering them to
erect this college, under the name of Domus Probationis (but it proved
Reprobationis) Sancti Ignatii; and their books of accounts, whereby it,
appeared they had five-hundred pounds per annum contribution from
their benefactors, and had purchased four-hundred and fifty pounds,
| per annum,’

Among their papers, says + Mr. Rushworth, was found a copy of a
letter written to their father rector at Brussels, discovering their designs
upon this state; of which I shall transcribe these remarkable passages :
* Let not the damp of astonishment seize upon your ardent and zcalous
souls, in the apprehending the sudden calling of a parliament: we have
uot opposed, but rather furthered it. You must know, the council is
engaged to assist the King by way of prerogative, in case the parlia-
mentary way should fail. You shall see this parliament will resemble
the pelican, which takes a pleasure to dig out with her beak her own
bowels. The election of knights and burgesses has been in such con-
fusion ‘of apparent faction, as that which we were wont to procure
heretofore, with much art and industry (when the Spanish match was
in treaty) now breaks out naturally, as a botch or boil, and spits and
spews out its own rancour and venom. That great statesman, the
Count of Gundomar, had but one principal means to further his great
and good designs, which was to sct on King James, that none but the
puritan faction, which plotted nothing but anarchy, and his confusion,
were averse to this most happy alliance and union. We stecred on the
same course, and have made great use of this anarchical election, and
have prejudicated and anticipated the great one, that none but the King’ s
enemies, and his, are chosen of this parliament. We have now many
strings to our bow, and have strongly fortified our faction, and have
added two bulwarks more. Now we have planted that sovereign drug
Arminianism, which we hope will purge the protestants from their
heresy. "The materials, which build up our bulwark, are the projec-
tors and beggars of all ranks and qualities: Howsoever, both these
factions co-operate to destroy the parliament, and to introduce a new
species and form of government, which is oligarchy. ‘These serve as
direct mediums and instruments to our end, which 1s the universal

catholick monarchy. Our foundation must be mutation, and mutation
will cause a relaxation, which will serve as so many violent diseases,
to the speedy destruction of our perpetual and insufferable anguish of |
body. "Phearminians and projectors affect.mutation: This we second,
and inforce by probable arguments. Jn the first place, we take into
consideration the King's honour, and present necessity; and we shew
how the King may free himself of his ward, as Lewis the Eleventh did.
As for his great splendour and lustre he may raise a vast revenue, and
not be beholden to his subjects, which is by way of imposition of excise,
Then our church catholicks proceed to shew the means how tq settle
this excise, which must be by a mercenary army of horse and foot,
For the horse we have made that sure; they shall be foreigners and
Germans, who will eat up the King’s revenues, and spoil the country;
though they should be well paid. In forming the excise, the country is
most likely to rise; if the mercenary army subjugate the country, then
the soldiers and projectors shall be paid out of the confiscations; if the
country be ‘too hard for the soldiers, then they must consequently
mutiny, which is equally advantageous to us; our superlative design is,
to work the protestants as well as the Roman catholicks to welcome in
a conqueror.
All this is confirmed by the testimony of the Earl of Clarendon:
* The papists *, says that illustrious historian, who had for many years
enjoyed a great calm, grew unthrifty managers of their prosperity ;
They appeared more publickly; entertained and forced conference more
avowedly, than had been known before. They were known not only
secret authors, but open promoters of the most grievous projects. The
priests had forgot their former modesty and fear, and were as willing to
be known, as listened to: Insomuch as a jesuit at Paris, designing for
_ England, had the impudence to visit the ambassador there, and offering
*his service, acquainted him with his intended journey, as if there had
been no laws for his reception. And, shamefully to countenance the
whole party, an agent from Rome resided at London im great state,
They had publickly collected money to a considerable sum, to be b
the Queen presented, as a free gift from his catholick subjects to the
King, towards carrying on the war against the Scots, which drew upon
them the rage of that nation. In a word, they behaved themselves so,
as if they had been suborned by the Scots, to destroy their own religion.’
Let us now listen to a foreign + historian, who has published
his revolutions of England, with the particular approbation of the
late King James, and who, being a jesuit, cannot be suspected of
partiality to the protestants, ¢The Scots, says he, finding them»
selves so strongly supported, had no sooner received an answer from
the court, than there arose a thousand confused voices, crying out that
all was lost; that the King, not contented with having taken away from ~
the two nations both their libertics and goods, designed to lay a yoke on
their consciences, and make an absolute change in religion. These
complaints had not moved the generality of people, nor rendered the
government sufficiently odious, according to the wishes of the discon-

KING CHARLES THE FIRST. 63

tented, had it not been insinuated besides, that the King made great
advances to popery, and resolved to make his subjects embrace it
Nothing was more false than this report. Charles was a protestant by
inclination, and never loved the Roman catholicks; but that very repor.
tho’ false, had such appearances of truth, as made it easily believed.
We must do the Queen the justice to say, that she had, during all her
life a true zeal for the restoration of the catholick faith in England,
and for the honour of the King her husband: but it cannot be denied,
that sometimes she practised that zeal with somewhat more imperious-
ness, than the time allowed. Acted by that spirit, which results from
the blood of those absolute monarchs, of whom their subjects require no
other reason for their commands, than their will, she did not sufficiently
consider, that she reigned ina country, where the most solid reasons
are nut always able to make the people follow the opinion of those who
govern them. So limited an authority, and which must be managed
with art, was looked on by the Queenas aslavery, from which she used
all her endeavours to free the King her husband and herself. Therefore,
without much regarding the nicety of the nation, she had constantly
near her a nuncio frog the pope, of whose character and functions none
at court were ignorant. She entertained an open correspondence with
the popish lords; she loudly, and sometimes roughly, made herself a
party in any thing wherein the Roman churca was concerned; and
having with ber a great number of ecclesiasticks, who had been restored
to her by the peace, and who, some of them, had more piety than pru-
dence, she had frequent disputes with the most zealous protestants,
wherein the King, who loved her tenderly, indulged her humour, and
even took her part, when she desired it of him, This conduct of
Charles, in relation to his Queen, had already made him suspected of
not being too good a protestant, whatever he did to appear such, when
the zeal he shewed for the undertaking of Archbishop Laud, viz. the
introducing the English liturgy in Scotland, increasing that suspicion,
gave occasion to his enemies to publish, that he was a Roman catholick,
and that, in concert with that prelate, he made it his business to recon-
cile England te the see of Rome. The conduct of Laud was such as
made these suspicions probable: for tho’ every body agrees now, that,
like the King his master, he was a zealous stickler for the protestant
sect, yet there was then reason not to think so of him, by the fondness
that prelate had for ceremonies; by the advice he gave to young students,
to read the fathers, rather than the protestant divines; by his denial to
admit the decisions of thesynod of Dort; and much more than all this, by
the conduct of theEarl of Strafford,lord-lieutenant of[reland,his intimate
friend, and confident of all his designs. That prelate had procured
him the government of Ireland, in hopes he should second his projects ;
and that Lord wisely foreseeing that Laud would raise all the presbyterians
_ against the King, raised an army in that island, to maintain the royal -
authority; and though he was a protestant, as well as his master and
friend, ke had done the Roman cathclicks the honour to believe them
better affected to their prince, than the rest: and therefore had composed

- his army of them,’

x4

64 -. A VIEW OF THE REIGN OF

What the jesuit advances concerning Archbishop Laud, may be
further illustrated by what Dr.’ Welwood says * of that prelate, * That
scarce any age has produced a man, whose actions and conduct have
been more obnoxious to obloquy, or given greater occasion forit. There
was, adds the doctor, one thread thatrun through his whole accu-
sation, and upon which most of the articles of his impeachment turned :
And that was, his inclination to popery, and his design to introduce
the Romish religion: of which his immortal book against Fisher, and
his declaration at his death, do sufficiently acquit him. And yet not
protestants only, but even Roman Catholicks themselves were led into
this mistake; otherwise they would not have dared to offer one in his
post a cardinal’s cap, as be confesses in his diary they did twice. -The
introduction of a great many pompous ceremonies into the church; the
licensing some books that spoke favourably of the church of Rome, and
the refusing to license others that were writ against it, were the princi-
pal causes of his being thus misrepresented. And, indeed, his behaviour
in some of these matters, as likewise in the star-chamber, and high-
commission-court, can hardly be accounted for, and particularly his
theatrical manner of consecrating Catharine Creed church, in London;
which is related at length by Mr. Rushworth, in the second part of his
Historical Collections, vol. I. p. 72.

By all these it plainly appears, that the doubts and fears of popery
were not groundless, and, according to Dr. Kennet's assertion, * That
they lost an orthodox and most regular prince the hearts of too many of
his people; and almost robbed him of the next valuable blessing, his
good-name. For, upon his teuder compliance with his intirely beloved
royal consort, bis enemies took advantage to misrepresent him for a
papist; though this was a calumny false and malicious."

In the third place, + Dr. Kennet mentions the jealousies, the thoughts
and dread of oppression and illegal power, among the leading causes of
the King’s murder: for, as he wisely remarks, * Tyranny and oppres-
sion seem in their nature made to hate, and, yet to help forward one
another. And former princes did rarely infringe the charter of publick
liberties, without hurting themselves, and leaving a wound upon mo-
narchy itself. For the least attempts towards slavery and exorbitant
power raised up the appearance ofa yoke, that our forefathers were not
able to bear, and we are their offspring. Doctor Kennet is far from
thinking, that King Charles ever proposed to injure the birth-right of
his subjects. But, adds he, how happy had it been for the peace of that
reign, if even doubts and suspicions had Leen wanting, if the body of a
good-natured English people had but thought themselves secure in their
legal rights and tenures, for then they could never have been seduced
into that unnatural rebellion. They must of necessity first believe, that
their liberties and estates were in some danger, and, under that prospect
and persuasion, they must have been drawn in, for the meaning, at
least, of self-preservation. How happy, if ho tonnage or customs had
been exacted, without a bill to be easily obtained for them! If no awing
into loans and benevolence, if no projecting extraordinary supplies,

without the readier aid of parliament; and especially if no levying of
ship-money to the surprise and burthen of the people, who never had a
notion of taxes, but as of money given by their own consent! These
hardships (to call them by that name only) did serve to exaspcrate the
minds of the people, and did prepare them by degrees to be led out first
in riots and tumults, and then in troops and armies, against their lawful
sovereign. And though it is certain, that the King himself did not
hastily contrive or command any of those hard measures; but he had
his ministers to propose them, and his very judges to approve them ; yet,
good prince, he answered for the account, and at the foot of it, with
invincible patience, paid down his royalty and his life.’ ~

In all this the reverend divine speaks with the most faithful and im-
partial historians, In this perplexed difliculty, says * one of these:
* At length his council agreed to set that great engine his prerogative on
work: many projects were hammered on that forge, but that, which
the council stuck closest to, was the issuing of a commission, dated the
thirteenth of October 1626, for raising of almost two-hundred thousand
pounds by way of loan; and, the more to expedite this levy, the com-
missioners were instructed to represent to the subjects the deplorable
estate of Rochelle, ‘These were plausible insinuations: but all would
not smooth the asperity of this illegal tax; Rochelle and all other foreign
considerations must stand by, when inbred liberty is disputed ; so that
the almost moiety of the kingdom opposed it to durance. Upon this
account of refusal, prisoners, some of the nobility, and most of the
prime gentry, were daily brought in by scores; I might almost say by
counties, so that the council-table had almost as much work to provide
prisons, as to supply the King’s necessities.’ “The assessment of the
general loan, says + Mr. Rushworth, did not pass currently with the
people; for some persons absolutely refused to subscribe their names,
or to say, they were willing to lend, if able. Whereupon the council
directed their warrant to the commissioners of the navy, to impress those
men to serve in the ships ready to go out in his Majesty's service. ==.
The non-subscribers of high rank and right, in all the counties, were
bound over by recognisance, to tender their appearance, at the council-
table, and performed the same accordingly, and divers of them were
committed to prison; but the common sort to appear in the military
yard near St. Martin's in the Fields; before the Lieutenant of the Tower
of London, by him to be there enrolled among the companies of soldiers;
that they, who refused to assist with their purses, should serve in their
persons." * Among therest f, Sir Peter Hayman, refusing to part with
loan-money, was called before the lords of the council, and commanded
to go into his Majesty's service into the Palatinate.

* Among other means of raising money, says Dr. Welwood ||, that of
loan was fallen upon; which met with gteat difficulties, and was genc-
rally taken to be illegal. One Sibthorp, an obscure person, in a sermon
preached at the assizes at Northampton, would make his court by
asserting not only the lawfulness of this way of imposing money by loan,

but thatit was the indispensible duty of the subject to comply with it.
, At the same time Dr. Manwaring, another divine, preached two sermons

before the King at Whitehall, in which he advanced these doctrines,
viz. “That the King is not bound to observe the laws of the realm,
concerning the subjects rights and liberties ; but that his royal word and .
command, in imposing loans and taxes without consent of parliament,
does oblige the subjects conscience, upon pain of eternal damnation.
That those, who refused to pay this loan, did offend against the law of
God, and became guilty of impiety, disloyalty, and rebellion. And
that the authority of parliaments 1s not necessary for raisiug of aids and
subsidies”

* Every body knew that Abbot was averse to such doctrines: and,
to seek an advantage against him, Sibthorp’s sermon, with a dubbi
to the King, was sent him by order of his Majesty to license, Abbot |
refused, and gave his rcasonsin writing ; which Bishop Laud answered,
and with bis own hand licensed both Sibthorp’s and Manwaring’s ser-
mons. Upon this Archbishop Abbot was confined to his country house,
and suspended from his function; the administration of which was
committed to Bishop Laud, and some others of his recommendation."

How happy had it been for King Charles, if, in his time, instead of
such divines as Sibthorp and Manwaring, none had ascended the pulpits,
but men of the principles of Dr. Kennet, who has a right notion of our
English constitution; * which, if carefully preserved, holds out in the
most regular health and safety ; but, if once put out of order, itis bard
to set right again"

Let us now attend how the Earl of Clarendon relates * the grievances
and oppression of this reign: ‘ The proclamation, says he, issued out
at the dissolution of the second parliament, afflicted many good men so
far, that it laid their ears open to the insinuations of those who made it
their business to infuse an ill opinion into men, that by it the King de-
clared, he really intended we should have no more parliaments ; ‘and,
the danger of such an inquisition being by this notion removed, ill men
were not only encouraged to all license, buteven those who had no pro-
pensity to ill, imagining themselves above the reach of ordinary justice,
learned’ by degrees to look on that -as no fault, which was like to find
no punishment. Provisional acts of state were ‘formed to supply defect -
of laws ; so tonnage and poundage, which had absolutely been refused
to be settled. by parliament, were collected upon merchandise by order
of the council-board; antiquated laws were revived, and with rigour
executed ;— The law of knighthood, which, tho’ founded in right, was
in the method of its execution very grievous; the laws of the forest, by
virtue of which, not only great fines were imposed, but yearly rents de-
signed, and like to have been settled by. contract; and lastly, for an
everlasting supply upon all occasions, a writ directed in form of law to
the sheriff of every county in England, to send a ship amply provided
for the King’s service; and with an instruction, that, instead of a ship,
such asum of money should be levied upon SE county; with direc-
tions, how those that were refractory should be-proceeded against, from

whence that tax was called ship-money, were not the only unjust, scan-
‘dalous, and ridiculous projects at that time set on foot.---And here the
use the judges were put to in this, and like acts of power, redound much
to the mischief and damage cf the crown and state, in whose integrity
and innocence the dignity of the laws mainly resided ; the mysteries of
which, when they had measured by the standard of what they called‘ ge.
neral reason,' and explained by the wisdom of state, they justly deserved
that irreverence and scorn, with which the House of Peers afterward
used them, : " |

* Though the nation, in general, bore no ill-will to the church, ei.
ther in the point of doctrine or discipline, yet were they jealous that pos

ery was not sufficiently discouraged, and were easily persuaded to be-
ied any thing they had not been used to, and which they called inno-
yation, was admitted purcly to pleasethe Papists. The archbishop * had
all his life-time vigorously opposed Calyin’s doctrine, and thereupon
his enemies called him a Papist.---He retained, when he came into au-
thority, too sharp a memory of those by whom he had been persecuted ;
and was but too guilty himself of the same passion he complained of in
his adversaries; that, as they accused him of popery, for maintaining
some doctrinal points they disliked, so he looked on some persons as enee
mies to the discipline of the church, because they agreed with Calvin in
some points of doctrine. He was a man of great courage and resolu-
tion, and resolved to make the discipline of the church felt, as well as
spoken of, applying it without any respect of persons, as much to the
greatest, as meanest offenders. There were three persons, Prynne, Bur-
ton, and Bastwick, most notorious for their avowed malice to the go-
-yernment of the church, which in their several writings they had pub-
lished. One of them was a divine, the other a common lawyer, and
the third a doctor of physick ; and, though neither of them had any in-
terest. or esteem. with the worthy part of their several professions, yet,
when they were all sentenced and exposed like common rogues upon
scaffolds, to have their ears cut off, and their faces and foreheads brand-
ed with red-hot irons, men began nolonger to consider their manners, but
the men, and cach profession imagined theireducation, degree, and qua-
lity, had raised them above the reach of such infamous judgments, and
treasured up wrath for the time to come,’

* The convocation,’ says the same author in another place +,‘ was, af-
ter the dissolution of the last parliament, continued by a new writ, and
sat under the proper name of a synod ; made canons, which men thought
it might do, and gave subsidies, and enjoined oaths, which, without
doubt, it could not do; in a word, did several things, which, in the best
of times, might have been questioned, and were therefore certain to be
condemned in the worst; and drew the same prejudice upon the whole
body, to which only some particular clergymen were before exposed.

‘The high-commission court was erected in the first year of Queen
Elisabeth, and was of great use for the maintaining the peace and dig-
nity of the church, while it was exercised with moderation. | But, of
late, the gfeat power of some bishops at court, had made it overflow. its

banks, and thereupon gained it many. enemies. The Star-Chamber
Court was of late grown so exorbitant, that there were few persons, who
had not suffered by it. For they had enlarged their jurisdiction, from
the cognisance of riot, perjury, and the most notorious misdemea-
nors, to the vindicating all proclamations and orders of state, to the main-
taining illegal commissions and grants of monopolies, so that no man
was free from the lash of it, any longer than he resolved to submit to
those, and such like extraordinary courses.

Fourthly, among the causes that conspired in the murder of King
Charles the First*, Dr Kennet mentions * the growth of immorality and
prophaneness, which were unhappily objected to the reign of this prince,
though he was himself a very devout and conscientious prince. And
really, adds that reverend divine, it was no wonder, if, under the covert
of popery, a spirit of prophaneness did more sensibly obtain. It is not
want of charity to say, what we see with our eyes, that the principles
of popery are adapted toa looseness in morals; and that therefore the
general practice of the members of that church is strict in nothing but
little outward observations. We are not to believe all the complaints
that serious persons made of the dissoluteness of the King's army at
that time. It was a juster objection f, that the prophaneness of the En-
glish stage began thento be more scandalous, than it had been in former
times. So very scandalous, that, in pure indignation, a learned tract
was written against this growing evil, or, as in its own title, against the
intolerable mischiefs and abuses of common plays and play-houscs.
But this reproof of impiety did so offend the French party, and made
them so incense the Queen, that the author, Mr. Prynne, was prose-
cuted and stigmatised forit, with a severity that was thought to be
cruel.’

All this is confirmed by the testimonies of historians. * In the year
1618, says H. L'Estrange (in his annals f of King Charles’s reign) King
James published a declaration, tolerating sports on the Lord’s day, called
Sunday. ‘This declaration then caused so many impetuous clamours
against it, as it was soon after called in; and was, this October (1633)
revived and ratified by King Charles, The express design of this was,
to restore the feasts and dedications of churches, commonly called wakes,
to their ancient solemnity, and to allow the use of lawful pastimes in the
lower row upon that day. It was also argued in favour of it, that there
was in the kingdom a potent tendency in many to Judaism, occasioned
by the dangerous doctrine of several puritans, especially of one Theophi-
lus Brabourn, an obscure and ignorant school-master, asserting the per-
petual and indispensable morality of the sabbath of the fourth com-
mandment. Again, in others no small inclination to popery, occasioned
by the rigour and strictness of sabbatharian ministers, in denying people
recreations on the Sunday. But all these plausible insinuations opera-
ted little to a welcome entertainment. - Nor was there any one royal
edict, during all King Charles's reign, resented with equal regret. ‘The
fault was least his Majesty’s, and not only ill counsel, but ill custom
was to blame. For, too true it is, the divinity of the Lord's day was

* 8ce his Sermon, p. 22,23. + Uist. Mastix, 1633. $ p. 128, 129. i

then new divinity at court, where, the publick assemblies once over, the
indulgence of secular employment and recreations was thought so Jittle
disservice to God, as not only civil affairs were usually debated at the
council table, but also representations of masques were rarely on no
other than sabbath nights. And all this fomented by both doctrine and
practice of men very eminent in the church; which seemed the greater
prodigy, that men, who so eagerly cried up their own orders, and reve-
nues, for divine, should so much decry the Lord’s day for being such,
when they had no other existence, than in relation to this.’

* Prophaneness, says * another author, too much abounded every
where. Luxury in diet, and excess, both in meat and drink, was crept
into the Kingdom in an high degree, notonly in the quantity, but in the
wanton curiosity, - And, in the abuse of those good creatures which God
had bestowed upon this plentiful land, they mixed the vices of
divers nations, catching at every thing that was new and foreign. As
much pride and excess was in apparel, almost among all degrees of
people, in new fangled and various fashioned attire; they not only imi-
tated, but excelled, their foreign patterns, and, in fantastical gestures and
behaviours, the petulances of most nationsin Europe.

* The clergy, says t the same writer, were wholly taken up in admi-
ration of the King's happy government, which they never concealed
from himself, as the pulpit gave them access to his ear; and not only
there, but at all meetings, they discoursed with joy upon that theme;
affirming confidently, that no prince in. Europe was so great a friend to
the church as King Charles; that religion flourished no where but in
England; and no reformed church retained the face and dignity of a
church but that. Many of them used to deliver their opinion, that
God had therefore severely punished the Palatinate, because their sacri-
lege had been so great in taking away the endowments of bishopricks.
Queen Elisabeth herself, who had reformed religion, was but coldly
praised, and all her virtues forgotten, when they remembered how she
cut short the bishoprick of Ely. Henry the Eighth was much con-
demaed by them, for seizing upon the abbies, and taking so much out
ef the several bishopricks. To maintain therefore that splendor of a
church, which so much pleased them, was become their highest endea-
vour, especially after they had gotten, in the year 1633, an archbishop
after their own heart, Dr. Laud. Not only the pomp of ceremonies was
daily increased, and innovations of great scandal brought into the
church ; but, in point of doctrine, many fair approaches were made to-
wards Rome; as he, that pleases to search, may find in the books of Bi-
shop Laud, Montague, Heylyn, Pocklington, and therest. And, as their
friendship to Rome increased, so did their scorn to the reformed church-
es beyond the seas; whom, instead of sending that relief and succour to
them, which God had enabled this rich island to do, they failed in their
greatest extremities, and, instead of harbours, became rocks to split
them. Archbishop Laud, who was now grown into great favour with
the King, made use of it especially to advance the pomp and temporal
honours of the clergy, procuring the lord treasurer's place for Doctor

Juxon, bishop of London; and endeavouring, as the general report went,
to fix the greatest temporal preferments upon others of that coat: Inso-
much as the people merrily, when they saw that treasurer, with the
other bishops, riding to Westminster, called it the-church triumphant.
Doctors, and parsons of parishes, were made every where justices of
peace, to the great grievance of the country in civil affairs, and depri-
ving them of their spiritual edification. The archbishop, by the same
means which he used to preserve his clergy from contempt, exposed
them to envy ; and, as the wisest could then prophesy, to a more than
probability of losing all: As we read of some men, who, being fore-
doomed by an oracle to a bad fortune, have run into it by the same
means they used to preventit. "The like unhappy course did the cler-
gy then take to depress puritanism, which was to set up irreligion itself
against it, the worst weapon which they could have chosen to beat it
down; which appeared especially in point of keeping the Lord's Day;
when not only books were written to shake the morality of it, as that of
‘Sunday no Sabbath,’ but sports and pastimes of jollity and lightness
permitted to the country people upon that day, by publick authority,
and the warrant commanded to be read in churches; which, instead of
producing the intended effect, may credibly be thought to have been
one motive to a stricter observance of that day; and many men, who
had before been loose and carcless, began, upon that occasion, to enter
into a more serious consideration of it, and were ashamed to be invited,
by the authority of churchmen, to that which themselves, at the best,
could but have pardoned in themselves, as a thing of infirmity. The ex-
ample of the court, where plays were usually presented on Sundays, did
not so much draw the country to imitation, as reflect, with disadvan-
tage, upon the court itself; and- sowre those other court pastimes, and
jollities, which would have relished better without that, in the eycs of
all the people, as things ever allowed to the delights of great princes.
The countenancing of looseness and irreligion was, no doubt, a great
pieparative to the introducing of another religion : And, the power of
godliness being beaten down, popery might more casily by degrecs enter.
And tho'it were questionable, whether the bishops and great clergy of
England aimed at popery, it is too apparent, such was the design of Ro-
mish agents; and the English clergy, if they did not their own work,
did theirs. A stranger of that religion, a Venetian gentleman, out of his
own observations in England, will tell you, how far they were going in
this kind. His words are, “ The universities, bishops, and divines of
England do daily embrace Catholick opinions, tho' they profess it not
with open mouth, for fear of the puritans. For example, they hold that
the church of Rome is a true church; that the Pope is superior to all
bishops; that to him it appertains to call general councils ; that it is
lawful to pray for souls departed; that altars ought to be erected: In
fine, they believe all that is taught by the church, but not by the court
of Rome." à;

* By all these it is very * evident, that the liberty, and the delight,
then taken in plays and opera's, did help sadly to corrupt the minds and

manners of our people, and to let in that looseness and irreligion; which
served to suggest the wickedness and villainies, soon after acted in the
gvilb warn «|

.Fifthly, and lastly, * Dr. Kennet justly * reckons hypocrisy as another
lamentable cause of King Charles's murder: for, no doubt, many sin-
cere Christians came in witli a good meaning to one side of the unhappy
quarrel, as, well as to the other. But the prime engines, and the
workers of them, on the prevailing side were most of them men of craft,
and dreadful dissemblers with God and heaven. What artificial fasts!
What procuring prayers! What deluding speeches! What abuse of holy
scripture! What a noise of cursing Meroz, of fighting the Lord's battles,
ef binding Kingsin chains, &c.! Nay, and how, at last, was the fatal
blow given, by an utmost stretch [in hypocrisy, by one 4 commander
putting off 1 another, more tender and loyal, with a sham pretence of
seeking God in prayer, while, in the mean time, the royal blood was
shed, and the other's plea, to spare it, was then to no purpose,’

All particsallow, that Cromwell was the chief promoter of the King’s
murder; and that hypocrisy was his characteristical quality, is also
acknowledged by all. ‘His whole army, says Sir Philip Warwick, in
his || memoirs, was of men who. had all- either naturally the phanatick
humour, or soon imbibed it. A herd of this sort of men, being by him
drawn together, he himself, like Mahomet, having transports of fancy,
and withal a crafty understanding, knowing, that :tural principles,
tho’ not morally good, will conduce to the attainment of natural and
politick ends, made use of the zeal and credulity of these persons,
teaching them that they engaged for God, when he led them against
the King. And these men habited more to spiritual pride, than carnal
riot, or intemperance, so, consequently, having been industrious and
active in their former professions, where natural courage wanted, zeal
supplied its place; and, at first, they chose rather to die than fly ; and
custom removed fear of danger; and afterwards finding the sweet of
good pay, and of opulent plunder, and of preferment, the lucrative
part made gain seem to them a natural member of godliness.

* The bloody independents, says thesame § author, drew the curtain,
and shewed how tragical their design had been from the beginning. There
are no words in the army, but that the King had beena man of blood,
and therefore must be presented to blood.

“If the puritans, says the ** French historian, I quoted before, adven-
tured on this blow, it was only in expectation of an occasion to attempt
a more decisive one, by extinguishing the royal authority, with which
episcopacy should fall. lsay the royal authority, not the King’s person
and dignity: for we must do the puritans the justice to own, that they
never intended to carry their crime so far; and that they only prepared
the victim, which a more bloody sect sacrificed. ———— It is hard +} to
` determine when this inhuman design was formed by the sect of the inde-
pendents, for so they were called, because they pretended to carry the
evangelical liberty further than the puritans. ‘These new sectaries were
at first no otherwise distinguished from the presbyterians, than, (as, in

all religious societies, the zealous and fervent are distinguished from the

lukewarm, and the strict from the remiss) by a greater averseness to
pompous ceremonies and pre-eminences in church and state; by a.
greater zeal to reduce the practice of the gospel to its pristine purity;

by prayers, conversations, and discourses, which seemed to be the result

of enthusiasm and inspiration. "Their opinions about independency

(for they rejected not only bishops, but even synods) procured them a

peculiar appellation, and rendered them suspected to the presbyterians,

with whom they had some disputes. But, notwithstanding this oppo-

sition, the independents, adding artifice, flattery, promises, and good

offices to their affected air of sanctity, made such a progress, that they

formed a numerous sect of those that had been imposed upon by their

hypocrisy; and a formidable faction of ambitious and mercenary men,

whom they gained in all the other sects, by their address and policy.

It was one among the latter, who afterwards became the chief of the

whole cabal, and who was so already, without being taken notice of,
A man born without any natural propensity to evil, or any inclination

to virtue; having an equal facility to practise all virtues, and to commit

all crimes, according as either suited with his designs. By this stroke,

Oliver Cromwell will easily be known. His excellent talent for war,

already so fatal to the King’s party, having added much lustre to his

qualification for business, gained liim such ascendant over all those of
his faction, that :e was become the very soul of it. Modesty and de-

votion, which, of all the virtues he wanted, were those he could best

dissemble, had the more solidly established that superiority, as it gave

the least offence to the independency profeseed by that sect, in a man

who seemed not to affect it, but rather to have nothing in view, besides

the good of religion and the publick."

Thus it appears, from all the irrefragable testimonies alrcady cited,
That, with plainness of truth, the Reverend Dr. Kennet has enquired
into, and marked tke most visible causes of the civil war, which ended
in the murder of King Charles.

Since, by laying before us the true causes of that unnatural civil
war, which terminated in the destruction ef the monarchy, and the
martyrdom of the monarch, he wisely cautions both those who govern,
and those who are governed, carefully to avoid any thing that might
tend to break, or hurt, our present happy constitution, which God
preserve,

to bestow here and there, according to the custom. First you go ove
a bridge, through which the ships and gallies do pass, which are to go
fo sea; over against that, there is a house, wherein are two-hundred
persons daily, who do nothing else but make corslets and harness, that
are used in the ships and «allies,

Another house, hard by that, wherein there are daily working two-
hundred persons, making nothing but anchors, and other irons, for the
gallies and great ships. A little farther, you shall be led into a cellar,
wherein are sixty great vessels, filled with wine, which they give t^ the
workmen, as much as they desire to drink, every day, and you also may
drink as much as you please. à

Moreover, there are six extraordinary great galleasses, which have
been in the battle of Lepanto.

There are also forty-six galleasses, all ready furnished, saveonly two,
laying the ordnance thereupon. Right over-against that, you shall be
led into a gallery, about five-hundred paces long; therein are made the
cables and ropes for the ships and gallies; hard by that, is another house,
in which are forty kettlés and ovens, to make salt-petre; bestow there
to drink.

Then, a little back again, there is a great house, in which there are
two rooms; in the first, is all manner of furniture to arm seventy-four
thousand men into the field ; here also give to drink. In the other room,
there are long guns, pikes, and other armour, to furnish into the field
one-hundred and seventy-four thousand men; give to drink. Coming
down again, you shall see, in another room, six-hundred pieces of great
ordnance, lying on wheels; also, hard by, a mortar, that carries a
bullet of six-hundred pounds weight. "

Hard by that room, there is another, wherein do lie as many bullets
and ordnance, as will serve for two-hundred gallies, which are all ready
to be used; drink-money more; there are bullets and ordnance to furnish
thirty-six galleasses, there pertaining to every galeass forty-eisht pieces
of ordnance. Drink-money.

A little further, there is anotherhouse, where are three-hundred pieces
of ordnance, which were won from the Turks in the Armada, together
‘with the colours, and twenty-four bells of the Low-Countries; drink-

'The galleasses are in length thirty-seven paces, and the gallies thirty.

When you have gone about, and seen the gallies, you shall come to
ihe extraordinary brave ship, Bucentauro, which is painted within and
without, and richly overgilded. Therein are excellent fine benches
made, on which may easily sit two-hundred persons. Jn that ship doth
the Duke of Venice, together with the whole signiora, or council, go, in
long crimson-velvet gowns, every year on the Ascension-day, in great
triumph, and princely state, to the sea, to a port near a strong fort
called Alio: and there the duke doth wed himself to the sea with a very
rich and costly ring, for an established dominion. The ring is given to a
page of honour, who casteth it into the sea, and, as then, the duke returns
home again, and, from the two strong forts, is rung a main peal of
ordnance for joy. When a duke is chosen, no nan man know to whom

the election will fall, for it is done by lots, and, therefore, bootless for
any covetous man to strive for it, by bribing or gifts.

As you go forwards, you shall see a great house, under which are
three rooms ; therein may easily be made ready two-hundred ships and
gallies with sails. © Drink-money.

Go up the stairs, and you shall come into a room, wherein are two-
hundred old women, daily mending old sails, and sometimes, when

` need requires, there are seven-hundred daily working.

Further, there are three rooms, one above another; therein may be
furnished and armed twenty-thousand men to sea, and there you shall
see an admirable number of old harness, used in forizer times.

Then enquire for the great hall, called Real, in which the lords, in
times past, did use to sit in council, but now used for stately banquets
und feasts, when some great potentate or prince comes thither,

In the said hall, you shall see flitz-bows, corslets, and broad rapiers,
together with other weapons, sufficient to arm two-hundred thousand
men; and also, you shall see the colours, which were gotten from the
common enemies of Christendom, the Turks.

Not far from thence is a house, wherein do lie so many oars, ready
made, as will serve for eighty gallies.

Further, another house, wherein are oars, ready made, for above
one-hundred gallies, which were uséd in the armada aforcsaid ; on every
oar must row eight or nine persons. In the same house, the signiora
did sit in council, because the duke’s palace was set on fire, by lightning,
or a thunderbolt.

There are two-hundred good and sound gallies, all ready furnished,
save only the ordnance to be laid therein, and so put out to sea; and also
about two-hundred and fifty, which are daily repaired, and made ready.
Drink-money.

In this house of artillery, are twelve grcat towers, upon which there
is kept the watch every night; and, every hour, there goeth a genile-
man (appointed by the lords) the round, with thirty-six sufficient armed
men, about the house of artillery, to visit the sentinel. ‘The house of
artillery is compassed round about with walls, and other buildings, like
unto a strong town,

In the same, there are four-hundred masters and servants, who con-
tinually do make great ships, and prepare them to be ready. There are
belonging to this house of artillery eight thousand persons, fit for all
manner of trades. This house of artillery, in my opinion, is as big as
the city Canterbury. -Now it will be time for you to go home to
your lodgings, friendly taking leave at the gates, and, with thanks,

_bestowing some such reasonable reward, as to the company of gentle-

men-travellers, who went in with you, may be found fitting. And thus
much concerning the incomparable house of artillery in Venice.

-- Hercafter follows what is chiefly to be seen within the City of

Venice.

Go forward from the house of artillery to the water, or channel, and
there you shall see many brave and great ships of war.

76 A TRUE DESCRIPTION OF WHAT I$

Not far from thence, a great house, built only to make biskets for
the gallies. Therein are fifty ovens, and all Dutch bakers; there
pertain to these ovens fifty bakers, but, if it be needful to set out gallies
with bread, then there must be onc-hiündred of them.

Further you will see a new monastery, named Santo Sepulchro,
which is naturally like to the holy grave in Jerusalem.

Then you shall come to the Duke’s Palace; there take a gondola, and
row over to St. George's Monastery, which is built so pleasantly, and
with such various cloisters and gardens (which remain winter and
summer) as that you have not seen the like; especially the convent-
hall, wherein the monks do dine ard sup. This monastery hath as
great a circuit about it, as a reasonable town

Over-against that is yellow wax bleached, worthy the seeing. Drinks

Then you shall go to the Capuchins Monastery, which, in times past,
was built in perpetuai memory, at the charge of Prince Nicholo di
Ponte, ordered on the day of his death ; upon which day, there is yearly
made a great ship-bridge, that the people may not be troubled to go so
far about thither in pilgrimage to offer.

Then row over the channel to St. Stephen's, where you shall see a
great spacious place, and there all duels are fought, being a privileged
place, where no serjeant or officer dare meddle "with them; ; and also,
hard by the church, there is a stable, bésides which there is not one
stable more within the whole city of Venice.

After which, going homewards, you may ascend up to St. Mark's
steeple, from whence you may very pleasantly behold the whole city.
As the King of France came thither out of Poland, he rid up this
steeple, with his horse, as high as the bells do hang. It was built anno
1146, at which time the Paduans and Venetians were at wars, The
ships may be seen from this steeple thirty miles. After, go into the
minting-house, which is hard thereby, as also the library, which you
shall take great delight to see. Coming out thence, you will see two
great pillars erected, which are cast; between those the malefactors are
executed,

Also, just thereby is an extraordinary great house, wherein is kept
in store double-baked bisket, ready for any armada which is to be set
out to sea; and hard by that house is the place, thereout are delivered
all their billets, or passes, that intend to travel.

Then go to the Duke's Palace, and up the stairs you shall see two
great statues, or pictures of Adam and Eve, of white marble-stone;
and, when you come to the top, there is, on your left hand, a quader-
piece, over-gilded and fastened into the wall, on which is written or
engraven the manner, day, and hour of the King of France’s coming
thither out of Poland. Go up higher the stairs, towards the great
chamber, wherein is usually held a general council; which, being
compleat, consists of sixteen-hundred lords and counsellors, all from
the most ancient nobility descended; where they sit in comely order,
the duke sitting uppermost, and on each side of him twenty-four
clarissimi, or lords, all in long red velvet gowns; out of which one is
elected, when the duke dies, and they cast lots forthe election.

MOST WORTHY TO BE SEEN IN ITALY, &c. 77

The upper cieling of this council-chamber is of wood most excellently
carved, and richly gilded with pure Zechini gold; the histories and ar-
tificial pictures are wrought upon very costly linnen, with oil colours.
They do constantly affirm, that this chamber cost above four tons of
gold, which, in English money, is above one hundred-thousand pounds
sterling. Hard by the same is another chamber, almost like unto it,
which sometimes is used for a council-chamber.

This palace of the Duke's, about thirty-two years past, was set on fire
by a fiery squall, and burnt; it was covered with lead at that. time, but
now with copper; for furnishing of which, there were sent for very arti-
ficial masters out of Germany. They say, that the covering of this pa-
lace cost three hundred-thousand crowns.

When you come out of the palace, you shall see, on St. Mark’s place,
two columns or pillars of marble-stone erected, which Emanuel, empe-
ror of Greece, sent thither for a present; for, atsuch time asthe Vene-
tians made an agreement with the King of Sicily, ihe said emperor was
much displeased therewith, but afterwards, they having pacified his an-
ger, he presented them with three columns or pillars, two of which stand
on St. Mark's Place; the third miscarried, and fell into the water, which
.could never be recovered again. And, as concerning the other two,
there was at that time no man to be found in all their dominions, that
could set them up on end; wherefore they made proclamation, that,
whosoever could erect them, he should be well rewarded for his, pains.
Upon which, one came out of Lombardy, who told them, that he would

` venture his head, that he would set them up on end, if they would let
him have such things as were necessary forthatpurpose; which hehad,
and did effect it accordingly. And, for his reward, he did desire, that
it might be lawful for any man, that would, to play at dice between the
said pillars, notwithstanding tbe dice were false; and also, that the Ve-
netians would give him free dwelling amongst them, with a competent
living; all which was granted unto him. If it chanceth, that any man
in their jurisdiction doth raise a mutiny with the Turks, or doth at-
tempt any treachery against the, city, then there is a gilded pole laid
over-thwart the two pillars, and a gilded halter put upon the ofiender's
neck, and he hanged thereupon.

Here I will relate a strange kind of theft, which was done in former
times at Venice.

When Borsius, brother to the Duke of l'errara, came to Venice, and
went to see the treasure at St. Mark’s, there was a certain Candiot, na-
med Sammatius Scarior, who, being appointed to wait on the Duke, went
inalso to see the treasure ; and, when he saw the riches thereof, he
thought with himself by what means he might come secretly unto it,
and for that purpose suffered himself to be locked in the treasury; and,
making loose a marble-stone in the wall, behind the altar of the inno-
cent children, he carried the dust in his lap, and laid it behind a little
pair of dark stairs in the church. By day he went always away, and
came again towards evening, so long, until he made a hole into the trea-
sure-chamber; and, in the day-time, he fastened the stone so cunning-
ly into the wall, that no man could mark it. He carried out one rich
jewel after another, six nights together, and at las was resolved to take

away the Duke's hat, esteemed at two millions of zechins; which make,

in English money, more than seven-hundred thousand pounds. Now:
there was another Candiot, named Zacharias Cerio, to whom Sammatius

opened his business, and shewed him the treasure, and admonished him
in any case to keep it close, saying their lives stood upon it. Cerio be-*
ing at the sight thereof sore astonished, Sammatius stabbed him ; but,

before, he demanded of Cerio, Why he was astonished in such a fearful

manner? Cerio answered, That he was not able to speak for joy. Sam-

matius said, Make haste, then, and let us be gene; we have riches suf-

ficient to serve our turns all the days of our lives. Cerio said, I will

presently prepare myself, and go to inquire after a ship to be gone. But

he went and discovered it to the Duke, whereupon Sammatius was ap-

prehended. ‘The next day, a pair of gallows overgilded were set up, be-
tween the two pillars, whereon he was hanged, with a gilded rope about
his neck.

Over-against the same, at the one corner of the church, is a red por-
phyry-stone set up, on which there are cut the pictures of the two fa-
mous pirates which brought the said treasure to Venice.

Hard by is a round marble-stonethey use to lay the heads of proscri-
bed and banished persons.

Then go into the excellent temple or church of St. Mark’s, which is
underset very curiously with rich and great pillars of divers sorts
of colours. ‘The doors and gates of the church are of bell-metal, and
about the great door do stand four great horses cast of bell-metal, all
over gilded with pure gold, which were ordered to be placed in memory
of the Emperor Barbarossa, Whenyou come into the church, on your
Icft-hand, you shall see a crucifix upon an altar, at which (as they say)
on atime a certain gamester did throw a stone, whereupon it fella
bleeding, and still every year, on that day, it doth bleed.

Further, upon the ground before the high altar there is a pavement
with four-squared streams, of white marble-stone, like unto a natural wa-
ter, which was likewise so ordered for the aforesaid emperor's sake,
which is called a horse-pond. For, as the emperor laid siege to Venice,
he made a solemn vow, that, when he had got the city, he would make
out of St. Mark’s church a stable, and a horse-pond, and would make
St. Mark's market-place a gronnd to sow corn on. In the mean time,
it chanced, that the emperor's son was taken prisoner in a skirmish, and
brought into Venice. 'Then the Venetians sent and gave notice thereof to
the emperor, and told him, that, unless he would presently raise his
siege and be gone, they would shoot his son unto him out of a cannon, -
At which the. emperor was sorely grieved, and desired of the Venetians, -
that, for the safeguard of the vow which he had made, they would cause
St. Mark's place to be plaistered like a corn ground, and that the four
horses might be set over the high door, to signify the stable, and also
the ground beforethe high altar to be. paved with white marble stone
streamed, to betoken the horse-pond ; which was all done accordingly,
as it is to be scen at this day; whereupon the emperor took his son, rai-
sed his sie&e, and departed.

There are right before the church standing three very high poles, on
the top of which they hang three great standards or colours, upon the

holy and feast days, signifying their three kingdoms, viz. Candya, Cy-
prus, and Venice. j

If you desire to see the treasure, you must diligently sollicit the
Duke’s chamberlain; then you shall go into 8t. Mark's church, through
fou iron doors. So soon as you are gone through each one of them,
they shut themselves locked, and you are within; they will shew you
two unicorns horns, of which the red is the male, and the yellow the fe- -
male; thena great carbuncle-stone, which glitters like a candle, three
crowns of the kingdoms of the Venetians, twelve pettorali, with oriental
stones, amongst which is one standing in the midst, that hath a grcat
saphire and an emerald; two vessels of agate, the one of Chalcedoni,
- the other of a Turkish; a little granate, a great diamond King Henry
the Third, of France, gave the Duke of Venice; a great dish of gold, one
ballasso that weighs seven ounces, certain vessels of agate and emeralds,
which, in times-past, were the Emperor Constantine’s, besides many
other rich jewels and precious stones, almost not possibie to be written
in particular, for it is an inestimable treasure ; there are especially ori-
ental precious a saphire and an emerald, like unto which there are none
to be found.

Further you may desire to see the Duke's private house of artillery,
where are rich furniture of gold and silver to arm two-hundred men, a
Janthorn allof chrystal, certain apparel come from the New World, and
brought thither by the Cyprinenses, and presented to the Duke; then a
little coffer, in the opening of which, two pieces, that lie therein, do dis:

charge of themselves, besides divers other curious things. — Give some-

thing to drink. i

'The church óf St. Mark is held to be more rich and stately, built
with extraordinary costly pillars of porphyry and marble-stone, than
is Santa Sophia at Constantinople, for there are five most great excel-
lent chapels, or round heathenish towers, covered with copper. When
you go from St. Mark’s under the great dial, you will come into the
Merceria, a long street, on both sides full of shops, furnished with all
manner of exceeding rich wares, especially with silks; presently after
you shallcome to the Dutch house, wherein do dwell Dutch merchants,
who give weekly to the duchy, one-hundred zechins.

From the Dutch house you will go over the bridge Rialto, whither
all the merchants do resort mornings and evenings. ‘There js also a little
church, called Santo Jacobo, which is the ancientest church in Venice,
and there was the first house built, and the city was named at that time
Venetequa, in English, ‘Come hither, for it was free for every man
to build there; and, from that word. Venetequa, it is now turned to
Venetia.

Then go to Santa Maria Formosa, upon which the Dutch nation are
freely privileged to fight out any duel or quarrel.

You may go also to Santo Johanne et Paulo, which is a wonderful
fair church and monastery, adorned with excellent fair epitaphs. When
you enter in at the door, you shall sce on your left-hand the picture of
the Virgin Mary, very richly, with ancient histories, fastened into
the wall four-square, and the cover over the same, all costly over-
gilded.

80 A TRUE DESCRIPTION OF WHAT IS

Right without the church doth sit upon a horse cast of bell-metal, all
over gilded with pure ducat gold, Barthulome Coglion of Bergen, cap-
tain-general to the Venetians; by whom Padua was taken in for the
seigniory of Venice. The said general afterwards, on his death-bed,
did earnestly intreat the Venetian state, in any wise hereafter, to disco-
ver their secrets to none, as they had done to him, saying, that, if be had
been disposed, he could have overcome them. The seignory, for his
true service, did cause his statue to be erected there on a horse, as
aforesaid.

In the famous city of Venice there are eight-thousand gondolas, and,
amongst eight-hundred bridges, there are but two of wood. There are
also divers laudable companies, or fcllowships, touching which it is
not here necessary to: write in particular. The principal ones are
those, near a monastery called Alli Servi, and by Al Ponte de More.

Further, it is but little a way over to Murano, where the purest chrys-
tal glassesare made. So soon as you land on your left-hand, at a corner
house, you shall see a glass-maker that hath a whole castle of cbrystal,
with ordnance on the bulwarks and bastions, as also towers of defence,
which is to be sold for twelve-hundred crowns.

In Murano almost all the inhabitants are glass-makers, appertaining
to the Venetians, who have their trading therewith. . You shall also see
very fairgardens with running water-works, and brave statues, especially
one above the rest, belonging to a great gentleman named Emo, now
dead, which is wrought so artificially, as js scarce to be believed, unless
it be seen.

Then, in rowing home again, you will see a monastery on your left-
hand, wonderous fairly built in the water by a Venetian courtesana,
whom did love a Venetian gentle homo, who lived together like a man
and wife; he died before her, and left her all that he had, for which
she promised him to build a chapel, in perpetual memory of them both,
to have their funcrals therein; whieh chapel cost more than sixty-thou-
sand crowns the building; it is all of white marble-stone, and covered
with copper. There are adjoining thereunto four towers of bell-metal ;
within it is costly set forth, with admirable pictures and histories, of
white alabaster oriental, and without are cut out of white marble-stone
both their statues or pictures, according to the true proportion of their
bodies. After that, she retired herself to a very strict and penitent kind
of life, and, before her death, she made her will, having left behind her
six-hundred crowns, all which she bestowed upon poor people in hospi-
tals and spittals, and for maintenance of widowsand orphans, and ap«
painted a yearly revenue, to that monastery adjoining to the chapel, ever
to endure, to the end there might be solemnised yearly vigils for the sake
of both their souls.

Hereafter follows what is to be seen between Venice and Ancona, from

thence to Santa Maria Lorctto ; and also how many miles one place is
from the other.

You may take a gondola, or ship, and go to Chiozza, a very pleasant
town of the Venctians; it lies also in the sea, built with very fair houses.

MOST WORTHY TO BE SEEN IN ITALY, &c, 81

From thence to Ornaci, an inn, eight miles; then to Coro, an inn,
eighteen miles; there you may have horses to hire from Coro to Volani,
aninn, eighteen miles; from thence to. Magnanaca, an inn, nine miles;
that is a very bare and simple lodging ; from thence to Primara, an inn,
fifteen miles; from thence to Ravenna, twenty miles. Ravenna is an
ancient city, which lies on the sea, pertaining to the pope. From thence
to Al Savio, an inn, ten miles; from thence to Cesanniro, a little town,
ten miles; to Belaere, an inn, fifteen miles; there you may have horses
to hire. So to Rimini, a town of the pope's, ten miles; so to Coriano,
aninn, eight miles; to Cattolica, an inn, ten miles; to Pesaro, a town,
ten miles, which town belongs to the Duke of Urbino, built with very
fair and large streets, walls, and bastions, and an exceeding strong castle
lying on the sea. It is well provided with all manner of victuals, espe-
cially with good wine ; the duke hath there a very fair palace, and keeps
his court therein; it is a very pleasant place, wherein every thing is to be
had at a reasonable rate. From Pesaro to Fano, a town nine miles,
belonging to the pope, through which no man must presume to pass,
unless he will go on foot; it is a very ancient city. From thence to
Sinigallia, nine miles; it is also the said duke's ; a very strong castle on
the sea border, wherein the duke continually maintains a garrison;
from thence to Casa Brusciata, an inn, nine miles; it lies upon the

stream of the sea; we received there excellent good entertainment.
From thence to Ancona, seventeen miles.

|

AN C'ON A.

When you come to Ancona, which is a famous city, you shall see à

Porta Triumphal, which the Emperor Adrian caused to be built, for a
“memorial. ‘This city hath a very fair haven of the sea, lilie unto which

there are not any found; for there are brought together divers sorts of
commodities from Sclavonia and the Levant; there are brought also
brave Turkish horses, and all manner of wares. There is likewise a
.great traffick, and they do bring many Moors and Schiavons together,
to be sold; and, above the rest, there are no want of Jews that travel to
and fro, and also have their dwellings in that city.

In the aforesaid city, doth lie the body of Sant Ciriaci Advocati,

' buried ina little church on a high rock, which is commonly called Sant
Ciriaco; and, when the weather is clear, you may discover from thence
Schiavonia, and the’ ships upon the sea.

This city lies but three miles from Monte Alto, where Pope Sixtus
Quintus was born.

The famous city Ancona is adorned with excellent fair buildings, and
palaces, well provided of all manner of necessaries, to be bought ata
very cheap price, and it is well defended by great walls round about.
In like manner there is. a strong castle hard. above the city, made so
1nvincible with bastions and with ordnance thereupon planted, as that
it is, in a manner, impossible to be assaulted or won; and, if in case it
were, that the city should be gotten, yet could it not be kept, for, froma

82 A TRUE DESCRIPTION OF WHAT IS

the castle, every thing therein would be destroyed. So soon as one
pope dies, another is elected; the title of Ancona is written in his stile,
for it belongs to the see of Rome.

Santa Maria Loretto.

When you go from Ancona towards Santa Maria Loretto, which is
fifteen miles, you will sce an extraordinary pilgrimage and devotion ;
especially, note when you come into a long straight street, which reacheth
up to the church, you shall see nothing but shops, wherein are made
only pater-noster beads. When you come into the church, you shall
see, on both sides, long tables standing, on which there are written
directions and admonishments, after what part every body may prepare
himself to the confession, on each table being written four several lan-
guages, to the end, no man may alledge an excuse, tbat there is no priest
to understand his language, for there is ordered to every table a priest
that speaks the same language. "

When you approach near the choir, or querry, wherein is the chapel of
our Blessed Virgin, which (as they say) was carried thither by the
angcls from beyond the seas, you shall see a rare building, over or above
the said chapel, all of alabaster and marble stone, with excellent his-
tories raised.

And, when you are come into that chapel, you shall see upon the
great altar the Blessed Virgin, with the child Jesus in her arms, adorned
with so many précious jewels, and lamps of gold and silver burning,
that a man can scarce see either the Blessed Virgin, or the child.

Then enquire for the Christia, whereon do lie the male robes; there
you shall see, on your right hand, the picture of the Margrave of Baden;
and there is written the day on which he came thither, with six persons
per post, to his devotions, in the year 1584, because, he, having re-
ceived a dea!!y wound by a bullet, in the wars of the Low-Countries,
did direct his prayers to the Virgin Mary, for her divine help for his
recovery; after his prayers ended, he laid him down in bed. In the
morning he felt nothing, but was whole and sound again; whereupon `
he delayed no time, but posted in all haste to this place, and, for a
thanksgiving, presented the Blessed Virgin Mary with twelve-thousand
crowns, which is no fable.

Loretto is made very strong with many bastions and walls, with great
ordnance, and store of ammunition, so that it is sure enough for the
Turks coming thither to carry away their inestimable treasure, which
(as they constantly affirm) is valued at above five millions of gold, freely
given and presented out of mere devotion.

Now, that which is on the way, between Maria Loretto and Rome,
is scarce worth the seeing. I will therefore only describe the ways from
once place to another; and, in my opinion, you were better turn back
again from Loretto, and take the nearest way to Ferrara, and from
thence, the open highway to Rome, whereby, both charges and time
may be saved, i $

MOST WORTHY TO BE SEEN IN ITALY, &c. $3

The direct way from Loretto to Rome.

From Loretto to Recanata three miles, which is a fine pleasant town,
built longwise, on a hill, with fair houses and stately vineyards, planted
thereabouts; you need not go through the town, unless you please, but
may go hard by the wall. From thence to Macerata, a little pretty town,
wherein is an university, fourteen miles; then to Tollentino, a little
town, nine miles; then to Alla Mancia, a little town, seven miles;
. then to " Piandiguano, an inn, seven miles; thence to Varchiano and
Samlet, nine miles; thence to Alla Passo de Spoleto, an inn, eight
miles; thence to Spoleto, a fine city, lying on a hill, belonging to the
pope; it hath been, in times past, dangerous to travel thereabouts, but
now not so, ten miles; from thence to Stretura, an inn, eight milcs;
thence to Terni, a pleasant town, eight miles ; thence to Harni, a strong
town, it lies high on the one side, and the river Harni runs hard by it,
seven miles; from thence to Ottricolo, a little town, eight miles; not
far from this, you must set over the Tyber, nine miles; from thence to
Rignano, a very good lodging; here leave an old town, called Civita
Castellana, on your left hand, it is thither sixteen miles; from thence
to Castal Nuovo, a little town, seven miles; thence to Primo Yorto,
an inn, seven miles y from thence to the holy city, Rome, seven miles,
This is the way from Loretto to Rome, if you please to go the same;
otherwise, you may take it in your return back again from Rome.

Hereafter follows the direct way from Ferrara to Malta, and what is to
be seen between them.

FERRARA.

When you are come to Ferrara, lodge at the Bell; they will enquire
of you in the gate, what things you carry about you; but tell them,
you are scholari, or students; and if you have cloke-bags, or mails,

ou must bring them into the weigh-house, where they open them.

If you desire to see the city, vou must enquire for the Dutch guard;
there you shall have one appointed to go about you for a small reward.

First, you go to the Dufe's Palace, or castle, that hath four fair
towers, upon which do strike two clocks. ‘The palace hath within a
fine court four-square, which is very stately set out with the descents of
the most famous emperors, and dukes that have governed there; as also .
itis adorned with excellent fair rooms, and pleasant gardens.

After, let him shew you the duke’s garden of pleasure and art, called
Bel Vedere, wherein you shall take great delight to see it, insomuch
as you shall admire thereat, garnished with pleasant springs, that both
winter and summer remain green; al! manner of birds, wild beasts, and
an extraordinary house of pleasure. Further the house of artillery,
adjoining io the duke's palace, wherein are many pieces of great. ord-
nance, worthy to beseen. — '

The city is furnished with an excellent fair market-place, where all

There are also a great number of Jews, and extraordinary fair broad
streets, very stately, set out with fair palaees, and excellent. brave
buildings, and, aboveall the rest, the city is round about strengthened
with strong walls and bastions.

Hereafter follows the way from Ferrara to Bologna.

From Ferrara to Poggio, an iun, nine miles; from thence to Pictro
in Casale, six miles; thence to Fundi, a little town, nine miles; from,
thence to Bologna, nine miles,

BOLOGNA.

Bologna is an exceeding fair city. w hen you come thither, lodge
at the Golden Angel, w here you may horse conveniently to Rome. But
there will be need of some policy, by reason that many times there are
horses de ritorno, so that you may have them for six or eight crowns
a-piece, and also men with you, to bear the charges of the horse and
yourself, till you come to Rome, without taking care of any thing, but
only to eat and drink, to sit up and light; and, in case your " horse
tires, they must immediately provide you ‘another.

This great and famous city is built with very stately palaces and
houses; it bath wonderful fair streets; when it 1s rainy weather, you
may go under the houses, and not be wetat all.

Go towards the governors palace, who is commonly a cardinal,
appointed by the pope to govern; it is an exceeding brave palace, with
a large circumference.

The governor keeps continually two-hundred swiizers, and a cornet
of spear-hor semen to guard his person; they are duly paid their salarium
every month. n

Every day, about the time of meals, do come the musicians and
trumpeters to sound and play, as if he were a temporal prince; they
stand without the palace in an open gallery, towards the market-
place.

The trumpeters with a kettle drum were, for a memorial, ordained
thither by the Emperor Charles the Fifth. The sackbuts and cornets
for a memorial, by Pope Gregory the Thirteenth,

The Switzers and horsemen have their dwelling in the governors
palace, and, when he goes out to take the air, they must all attend him
as ifthe pope were there himself,

Right against the market-place, on the outside of the palace, you
shall see the statue of the said pope, together with the seat, all of bell-
metal.

By the palace is the house of justice or prison, where is given every
morning to the offenders the stroppa de corda, in publick view; and

the malefactors are wound up exceeding high, their arms being wrung
round about, very fearful to behold.

In this city are great merchandising with silk wares, and silk worms
that spin, and they make their principal damask, and, especially, there
is an active and brave gentry.

There is also a very pleasant, fair, and great market-place, always
provided with all manner of necessaries, at reasonable small rates, what-
socver a man desires.

You shall also see a number of fair and civil gentlewomen in this
city, especially those that are nobly descended, who shew themselves
very courteous towards strangers. There is continually going up and
down with chariots and coaches, day and night. Go also towards the
Asses Tower, and you shall see two mien together, which are not
above four paces asunder: one of them is fours -cornered, raised very
high, all of brick, which six men may fathom about, but the heighth
is one-hundred and thirty fathom; upon the same is continually the
watch kept day and night; the other tower is built on purpose, as if it
were falling down, and therefore they were forced to take a great deal
of it down, the citizens, that dwelt near thereunto, fearing the fall
of the same, and to spoil their houses. It is yet forty fathom high.

This city is called the Mother of Learning, by reason of the famous
university therein; but now, for six oreight years, it hath suffered ship-
wreck, becausé the governor, which Pope Gregory the Thirteenth set
to govern there, did cause a Dutch gentleman, of good rank, to be cast
into prison in the night-time, by reason of certain weapons which were
found about him, and commanded three stroppa de corda to be given
him openly upon the market-place. Wherefore all the Dutch nation
departed presently from thence; for which the pope might rather have
given many thousand crowns, than that it had been done, about which
the governor fel! into the pope's high displeasure.

There is not, in all Italy, to be seen such an excellent and fair college
as is there, with fine pleasant rooms and pillars of marble stone, wherein
no prince may think scorn to dwell, although at this time Padua hath
the name; but I like Bologna much better, for every thing is to be had
at a low rate.

. Right over-against the college is the chiefest church, called St.
Petronia, which is exceeding fair, but as yet not finished, neither, as is
thought, will be in haste.

Further enquire for St. Dominico, a monastery of Dominican monks;
go into it, and, when you come near the door, you shall see an altar
wrought with such cunning and arty as that there is not the like to be
seen in the universal world. Under that altar doth lie buried St.
Dominick; and certainly the monastery is so extraordinary fair, that
far and near is not the like. The Dutch nation have their burials
therein. i i

Further do not neglect to see St. Michael, a stately monastery lying
on a hill near the city, most worthy to be noted; and, when it is clear
weather, a man may see so faras Ferrara. Round about this monastery
do grow cypress-trees, like unto a little wood, yielding so excellent a
sweet smell, as that a faint heart may be quickened therewith; and

o A TRUE DESCRIPTION.OF WHAT IS

there is a continual resort thither of men and women, as well for plea-
sure as devotion's sdke, for, winter and summer, it remains green all
alike.

Further desire to see St. Salvator, which is a monastery of monks,
and is the fairest built monastery in all Bologna.

Further St. Francisco, in which there are monks of the Franciscan
order, is also well worthy to be seen. And then, if you desire to see
artificial and curious altars and pictures, you must go into St. Jacob's
church; it is a monastery of the Augustines order. "There is in this
city to be heard as excellent good musick, as almost in any other place
in Italy, especially at St. Celestin's.

The city is wonderous fair, and there runs a fine river through it,
called Reno, on which all manner of provision is conveyed into the city;
The city is also great and spacious, and, nevertheless, all round about
begirt with a marvellous fair wall. :

It is credibly reported, that the pope hath every year out of this city
three-hundred thousand crowns income.

Hereafter follows the way from Bologna to Florence.

From Bologna to Pianora, a hamlet, eight miles; from thence to
Loiano, a hamlet, eight miles; thence to Pietra Mala, a little town,
eight miles; thence to Rofreddo, a hamlet, seven.

There the ways do part by a bridge on the left hand, to Pratolino,
three miles from thence, on the right hand, the direct way to Florence,
where the great duke hath so pleasant a recreation, as is no where else
in all Italy to be seen. i

PRATOLINO.

When you-come thither, enquire if the great duke be there; then go
to the gardener or keeper of the palace, and salute courteously, pro-
mising him something. First he will lead you above into the palace,
which is built four-square; when you come into a room, you shall go
right forwards into four rooms which have correspondence into four
corners, which are six rooms, among which is one wherein the duke
and his duchess do lie, on two beds, when they are there; but those
beds are accounted the simplest amongst all the rest, and very low.

The other rooms are exceeding fairly furnished, and adorned with
rich and costly arras, of clean gald and silver, wherewith the chambers
are hung. s

And, according as the hangings are in every chamber, so are likewise
the beds hung and trimmed correspondently.

The chambers decked with extraordinary fair statues, pictures, and
tables of alabaster, and other rich stones. j

Then go also up the stairs, and you shall come into the like rooms,
where, in four-squarcs are sixteen rooms, where beds do stand; the

`~

simplest amongst them did cost furnished ten-thousand crowns, "Then
you may bestow something upon the keeper's wife, or him that did lead
you about.

Further you must go from down a pair of stairs, where you shall see
a fair grotto and vaults, richly set with coral, mother of pearl, and
other rich stones, fastened into the wall so ha that a mancan scarce
see any part of the wall; therein are also tables of marble-stone and
alabaster, and also the benches very cunningly wrought, in inlaid
work. Ifamam doth sit down at one of the tables, the water doth
spout from below and above, and on every side, as if it rained mainly;
and, when one thinks to rescue himself from the wet, then he comes
just into the bath, all wringing wet; they spare no man, of what degree
soever,

When you come out again, you shall see the garden right before
you, like unto a broad street, on both sides, springs of water; the
garden is made with all manner of young plants, that are green winter
and summer. ‘There is a great tree whereon the duke uses to dine and
sup; from that tree, the duke can see both his palaces in the town;
the one wherein he keeps his court, the other is called Pithi. Then
go right over against the palace, into a garden, and is the duke's
chapel, wherein mass is celebrated; it is round like a heathenish
temple wainscotted within and without, with cypress wood, and round
about there grow cypress trees.

Further you shall see the statue of a water-god of white marble- -stone,
that hath, in length, four fathom; from hints doth fall all the water,
that comes into the artificial water-works,

About fiye miles from Pratolino, there hath been a very fair ground,
all green meadows, but on each side, high hills, where the waters do
come together; those grounds hath Duke Cosmus the Second caused
to be trenched about four miles in circuit, so that it is now like unto
a sea, from whence all the waters at Pratolino do spring; from Pratolino,
are five miles to Florence.

FE OR EW CE,

When you come within half a mile of Florence, and are many of you
in a company (for it is never otherwise) send one before that is a prac-
' ticus, to stay for you under the gate of the city, by the customers; then
they will enquire of him the cause of his staying there; he may answer,
that he stays there for certain students that are coming after on horse-
back, all wearied, not being used much to riding (for they do look very
narrowly, what things passengers do carry abeut them, whereby much
time is lost) but, because they may not be long in searching, put pre-
seutly a piece of money, into one ot their Minds. without many words,
speaking somewhat boldly tothem, and, as then, they will let you pass;
there are always many people looking very diligenily to ihe. business,
and to espy if any thing be found amiss, whereby a man may judge, that
much deceitful practice is there used,

88 A TRUE DESCRIPTION OF WHAT I8

When you come into the famous city of Florence, lodge at the Crown;
there is also besides a Dutch hostery, called the Fusti, but there is con-
tinually used much excess in drinking.

Florence is a most excellent brave city; comparable to the same
there is none, neither in Italy, nor elsewhere. :

If there be none amongst yourselves that is acquainted with the
custom of the city, then desire your host to help you to one, or you
may have one of the Dutch guard to go with you. |

Then go to the great duke’s palace; hard thereby is the Dutch guard.
The duke maintains continually one-hundred of them to wait on his
person; they dwell all together, and are drawn up to the watch every
evening very bravely.

The palace is a famous building, where is a steeple so high, that one
would say it is built in the air without foundation. Go into the palace
up the stairs on your left hand, and you shall see an extraordinary great
hall, wherein the duke doth dine and sup openly; go after that out
again, and on your right hand, you shall see also a very great ball;
there are every year presents given to the duke on St. John Baptist’s day
(who is patron to the Florentines) : After which is a fine act solemnised,
where the duke sits in publick state; and under a tabernacle do sit the
states and country townsmen in their order, and colours, the standards
bowing themselves before him with such ceremonics as if they were to
do homage. Then the duke goes to his palace to dinner, and afterwards
the duke sets up a certain prize, about which the common people do
dance, at which sport the duke beholds them.

You shall see in this hall very brave statues, and as you come out
there is, on your right hand, the duke's natural picture; right before
the palace, as you go to the Dutch guard, you will see very fair sta-
tues, as artificially made as if they were living. There is also a very.
fair water-chest or fountain, with stately pictures of bell-metal, as
also of marble-stone, continually spirting water, standing exceeding
pleasantly upon the fair and great mazket-place. Then go up over
where the statues do stand, where the duke hath a very pleasant garden,
and hath caused a water-work to be raised up on high, that it is a
wonder, how it was possible for the water to be brought thither, When
the duke is disposed to be merry, then he keeps his table there, by
reason of the excellent coolair; from thence he hath but a little gallery
to go into his palace. From thence go right forward, and you will
come into a very long gallery, called Belvedere, which is adorned with
most principal statues. On the side of the Belvedere, hath the Duke
Cosmus caused a chapel to be built (to which he can go secretly, and
not seen,’ from and to his palace) which is set out with wonderous brave
alabaster pictures, with a costly altar, and the said chapel round about
ceiled with mother of pearl ; under this gallery you shall see, in a pro-
spective glass, an excellent fair room, undersct with brave strong pillars,
in which is the chancery or council kept; there is in all Italy not the
like to be seen. Go also towards the old bridge, called Ponte Vecchio;
on the same are built haberdashers shops all over, and there runs a rich
navigable river underneath, called the Arno. When you come over that
bridge, enquire for the palace, called Pithi, which ìs an exceeding fair »

MOST WORTHY TO BE SEEN IN ITALY, &c. 89

building, all of square stone, very high and great, built four-cornered,
with a court paved all over with square fi'ee-stone. There are in the
same kingly rooms, and chambers, continually furnished wonderful
richly. Thereupon is also a great and brave garden, and therein a
little wood, all of cypress trees, where do also grow all manner of meats,
for the most costly birds and fowls. The duke hath oftentimes pleasant
sport in the same ; there grow also all manner of the delicatest fruits,
which a man may imagine, and most part of the garden is continually
green.

There are also stately fountains thercin, with brave and costly statues,
and the duke can go over a gallery from thence to his other palace,
where he keeps his court, that no man can see him coming; then go
back again to a bridge, called Ponte Novo, which is built all of white

marble-stone, square pieces. `

When you come over that, you shall see, on your left hand, a very
great stone pillar, on which sits an angel, with a pair of scales and a
sword in his hands, which the great Duke Cosmus erected after he had
got the victory of Siena from the Lord Strozzi.

Then, when you. go a little more forward, you shall come into the
said Peter Strozzi's palace, whereby you will conceive the greatness of
that man, and his power, in not fearing to set himself against the duke,
intending to have made himself duke. He hath had also more like
palaces in the city.

Further go to the palace, called Cassina, where the duke doth main-
tain all manner of artists of all nations; for the duke taketh great plea-
sure therein, he himself having learned two or three of those artificial
sciences, and doth oftentimes use to work amongst them.

Not far from thence you shall come to a house, wherein are kept
certain tame leopards, lions, bears, and other beasts, all which you
may see for a small matter bestowed,

NUNCIATA,
Called, our Holy Mother.

There you shall see a great devotion for pilgrimage, in which place
there are so many miracles done and seen, as that it is impossible for
me to write of them all; only you shall see the true signs and tokens,
as they say, of the popes, Emperors, Kings, and princes, and other
great persons, who (through their strange faiths, and devout prayers)
have been helped and cured. This Nunciata hath also an excellent
hospital, into which there are seldom taken any, but only such as have
relation to, the duke's court; which hospital isa most pleasant place,
where the sick are attended with great diligence, and provided with very
sweet and cleanly bedding. ;

Then go out from thence through the straight street, and you shall
sce the cathedral church, which is a rare building, all of red and white
marble-stones, on which is a round steeple, built so straight that no

VOL. XII. : G

man would believe it to be so exceeding high; and on the top is a
golden globe, or ball, wherein myself, with eighteen persons more,
have stood, and, if they would fit themselves handsomely, there may well
stand twenty-four. Hard by the said church is another great tower,
wherein is a clock; the same steeple or tower is built from the bottom
to the top, with marble-stone, and gilt with divers colours; it doth not
touch the church, but is built so, that one may go round about it.
Right against the church is a round temple, called St. John, the Flo-
rentine patron, which temple hath three doors, or gates of bell-metal,
with exceeding fair raised figures, and histories, and especially there is
cast upon the same the whole Old Testament; they do confidently affirm
that the same does come from Jerusalem.

Then, going towards your lodging, the Crown, there is not far off
the church of St. Laurentio, wherein is buried Queen Johanna of
Austria, the Emperor Maximilian's daughter, wife to the great Duke
Cosmus, together with her children, where you shall see a wonderful
fair epitaph. By reason of the death of this great princess, the poor
people in the city were driven to an extreme lamentation, and sorrowful
bewailing, for they lost a mother of her; she, having presented unto
her, from the prince her husband yearly, twelve-thousand crowns for
a new year’s gift, did not make use thereof, for any lust or pleasure,
but did distribute the same altogether, for God's sake, to the said poor.
In this church are to be seen the epitaphs of the Dukes of Florence and
their predecessors, as also an excellent Bibliotheca of four-thousand
cight-hundred written books in parchment, very fairly bound.

This city is built with stately palaces and very fair houscs; the streets
are wonderous fair, and paved all with four-square stones that no filth
or uncleanness may abide thereon, and, though it rains much, within
one quarter of an hour itis dry again. ‘Fhe city is also furnished with
all manner of trades and merchandises, and especially with silks, and
costly rich cloth of gold and tissue, which are made there, comparable
to which there are none in all Italy. There do also frequent a valiant
sort of knights and gentry, which are employed in service against the
common enemics the Turks. You shall also see there two very strange
eastles or forts; the one lies on a plain ground near the city wall; the.
other on a high hill upon the city; wherein are in garison all Spaniards,
it being so ordered by Charles the First, Emperor, that the Duke Cosmus
should maintain only Spaniards; which is observed to this day, and no
other nation may be entertained therein.

Here followeth the way to High Siena.

From Florence to Casciano, a little town, eight miles; from thence
to Barbatino, four miles; from thence to Tavernelle, a little town,
four miles; from thence to Poggioponzo, a little town, that lies under
a fort named Poggis imperiale, four miles; from thence to Staggia, a
little town, four miles; from thence to High Siena city, six miles,

a

H DG. SLENA.

An exceeding fair city lying on a high ground, fastened in round
about with strong walls. When you come into,the city, lodge at the
Golden Angel, where you will find good and stately entertainment; and,
if you desire horses to Rome, you may have them at returu for a small
matter, and those that will bear your charges, till you come to Rome.
Go to the market-place, which is wide and fair, and a water-chest, at
the upper end; take a diligent view of that water-chest; as you go along
out of the market-place, you shall perceive it like unto a Jacob's mus-
cle, by reason of the red bricks wherewith the place is paved, and pieces
of white markle stone mingled amongst them, that it doth naturally
resemble a muscle. Then go to the head and principal church called
Domo or Cathedral, which isso richly built, that, in all Italy, is scarce
the like, all of white and black marble-stone within and without, and a
steeple like unto it, so that a man may say, the whole building is like
a costly jewel, by reason of the pleasant and rich materials thereof.
And therein you shall see all the popes lively pictured, and the church
adorned with very finealtars ; and against the church is an especial fine
hospital, where the poor pilgrims and other strangers are harboured and
entertained with good and wholsome meat and drink, sweet bedding,
and other necessaries, three days and three nights freely. There goes
a great charge and expence thereupon, and, in case the yearly income
will not serve, then the city must give supply. The city is plentifully
served with all manner of good victuals; partridges, pheasants, hares,
and all sorts of fowl, are to be had for a small matter; especially, the
students, where they board, are very excellently well served with all
courteous and affable behaviour. There is also excceding good wine,
and fine bread; the wine, in summer time, being so cool, that a man
can scarce drink it, when they first bring it out of the cellar, but it must
stand a while.

There is not, in all Italy, spoke the language more pure than in this
city and thereabouts; the plain country swain delivers it as elegantly,
as the chiefest in the city. And, above other things, I may not forget to
praise the exceeding beauty and well favouredness of the women kind in
this place, being wonderous well fitted for kind and lovely conversation,
graced with comely apparel, and, especially, they are in general skilful
in riding, and do sit well on horseback. You shall also see a brave uni-
versity, frequented by all nations, many noble persons living there, for
their learning’s sake, and more of the Dutch nation, than any other.
There is also just on the city a marvellous strong castle, or fort, which
the great Duke Cosmus caused to be built, as he had brought this city
under his power, and overthrown Lord Peter Strozzi; which castle is
sufficiently furnished with great ordnance and all manner of ammuni-
uon, against which the citizens cannot lightly rebel; the garison is all
of Italian soldiers. And, let it rain neverso fast or long, it is dry again,
throughout the whole city, within the space of half an hour.

Hereafter follows the way from High Siena to Rome.

From Siena to Lucignano, a little town, six miles; thence to Buon
Convent, a little town, five miles; thence to Vornieri, a little town,
seven miles; from thence you may see the exceeding strong fort, called
Monte Alcinoo, three miles; on the side, when you come to Tornieti,
do not lodge at the sign of the Stars, but go a little further down to the
Half:Moon, which is a better lodging. From thence to St. Quinco,
eight miles; thence to Alla Paglia, an inn, four miles; thence to Ponte
Cintino, a market-town, eight miles; when you ride from Alla Paglia,
enquire if it hath not lately rained, before you pass over the water, for
therein do lie hid great stones, the water oftentimes coming on a sudden
with such force, that it carries both horse and man. From Ponte
Cintino to Aquapendente, four miles; before you come thither, you
must pass over a bridge of stone, which the pope Gregory the Thirteenth
caused to be built, In this town, you shall find most delicate, fresh,
and cool drink-water, and excellent good wine and lodging. Itis also
the key of the pope's country. From Aquapendente to St. Laurence,
five miles. It is a fine little town, where do grow marvellous pleasant
wines, especially the red wine. From thence to Bolsina, a little town,
four miles, where doth grow also exceeding good wine, andit lies on the
sea border. In this sea do lie two islands; on either is built a church,
the one is called Santa Martana, the other, Versontina, wherein is in-
terred the body. of St. Christma. Jn this sea are taken very good fishes,
pike, carp, and cels, From thence to Montefiascon, five miles.

MONTEFIASCOYN.

This town lies upon a bill, formed like a flaggon, from whence the
town is so called. There doth grow the best muscadine in all Italy;
in which wine, a certain prelate drank himself to death, and lies there
buried, on whose grave-stone are cut these words following:

Dominus meus mortuus est.

Which epitaph his servant made: He was sent always by his master
before, when he travelled, for this end, to taste the wine in divers places,
and, where he found this good muscadine, he, on the door wrote,
EST, which was the token for his master to know that there was good
wine; and so, Est, as he espied the same written on the doors, there
he always lighted and renewed his drinking, wherehy he Jost his life.
From Montefiascon to Viterbo, a city, eight miles. ad

This is an ancient city, pertaining to the Cardinal Farnesio. It is
adorned with very fair and artificial water-works, worthy the sceing.

MOST WORTHY TO BE SEEN IN ITALY, &c. 63

And, when you have taken sight of this place, my advice is, to take
you out as you came in, and. then ride, on your right hand hard by the
town wall, to the Cardinal Gambara. Thither you have three miles,
where you shall, by the said cardinal, be courteously entertained; for
myself, with sixteen othcr gentlemen, certain years past, went that
way, and the cardinal, having notice thereof, caused our horses to be
taken and set in his stables, and gave orders to shew us into princely
chambers, to be lodged that night; and, at supper time, we were all
invited to a very rich feast, the banquet being served all in rich plate.
On the morrow, the cardinal’s cousin led us into the palace and garden,
tosee the same, which is adorned with wonderful rare water-works,
statues, and growing things, that are green winter and summer. And,
as we were minded to take horse and depart, we were then again carn-
estly intreated, and invited to a very costly dinner, the said cardinal
himself using us very graciously, and merrily desiring of us, That, at
such time as we should arrive home again into our own countries, we
would not omit to desire (in his behalf) any of our friends, that should
have occasion to: come that way, that they would not pass by his house
without calling in, and then to accept of his poor entertainment.

Now, as we were ready to depart, we agreed to bestow twenty crowns
on his servants, of which the cardinal got notice, and gave express
charge, that, upon pain of corporal punishment, they should not
receive any thing of us. From thence to Caprarola, which is a very
excellent fair palace, pertaining to Cardinal Farnesio, being‘ from Car-
dinal Gambara's palace, seven miles.

CAPRAROTL A,

Is a wonderous stately palace, thirty miles from Rome, and riot
above two miles out of the way; very fairly built, four square ; wherein
are excellent brave statues, and pleasant gardens, with curious’ and
artificial water-works. When you go up, you shall see princely lodg-
ings, with all manner of rich hangings, and with beds and tables of
"precious stone. And, when a man goes into one chamber (the same
being left open) he shall look into five others, and see in four corners
twenty rooms, stately furnished, especially the portraiture and signi-
ficator of the four winds, asartificial, as is possible to be made. Give
there somewhat to drink. From thence to Monte Rosa, a market-
town;. three miles; and, before you come to Monte Rosa, you may go
tlirough the cardinal's park, wherein are many deer, and other strange
beasts. From thence to Baccano, an inn, six miles, There hatb been,
in times past, dangerous travelling that way, when it was a wood, tlie
banditti harbouring themselves therein; it pertains to the Lord Paulo
Jordanof Bracciano; which wood he caused to be cut down, that so now’
there is safe travelling the place, being at this time a pretty markct-town,
and lies on a little sea, wherein are excellent fish. From thence to
Alla Storta, a markct-town, eight miles: from thence to Rome are
seven miles.

G3

94 A TRUE DESCRIPTION OF WHAT IS

ROME,
Which is called the Head City of the whole World.

When you come to Rome, enquire for the Black Bear, or Sword,
both which are lodgings for strangers, where you shall have good enter-
tainment, and be well used; but most commonly the chiefest persons
lodge at the Sword on Monte Giardano, in Italian, Alla Spacta. The
host will order one or other to go with you to see the city ; and my
advice is, if you desire to see things worthy your notice, that you go
first of all to the castle in a boat, or on foot; for a coach, you shall
give not above a crown and an half for the whole day.

ANGET CASE:

And first you crave license of the colonel, who will appoint one to
head about; you may bestow something on him, and he is commonly
one of the soldiers in garison. Then, leaving your weapons in the
porter’s lodge, he will bring you up to the first rampart, where are
two houses of artillery, full of excellent armour, to arm about six-
hundred horsemen with cuirasses, and one-thousand soldiers on foot.
Then go through the three watch-towers upwards, where are very stately
chambers and rooms, in which doth dwell the colonel; hard by are
two other rooms, with ammunition to arm twelve-hundred musqueteers.
There desire to see the rope-ladder, with which the great Roman gen-
tleman. L. Cæsare Gaetano, did let down himself from the castle, and
almost had clear escaped out of prison; the same ladder lies in a chest,
standing in a certain room, where is a fall-trap; and when they intend
to dispatch an offender (some great person) secretly they bring him into
the said room, where, stepping unawares aside, he doth suddenly fall
down, most fearfully, upon sharp iron pricks and saws, that cut him
all in pieces; you will wonder to see it. The foresaid L. Gaetano bad
almost released himself out of that prison, if the governor's boy (who
helped him) had not sorely fallen, which made him cry aloud; which
the sentinel no sooner beard, but presently raised the watch, who got
him, and brought him in again, and gave notice thereof to the pope;
whereupon, the pope gave order to cut off the nobleman's head at mid-
night following, and the boy was hung out over the city walls. Let him
also shew you the prison for great and noble persons, wherein is a plea-
sant bath; hard by which, is a secret trap, to let one fall upon sharp
irons. Over against that is a fair chapel, wherein mass is celebrated.
Further, go upwards, where you shallsce an angel, made of white
marble-stone, presenting this signification. As, on a time, Pope Gre-
gory the First went in procession, having the picture of Sancta Maria
Ara Celi in his hands, and coming to this Angel Castle, he looked
upwards, and saw an angel standing there, where this angel of marble-
stone now standeth, with a naked sword in the one hand, and, in the
other, the sheath; and when the angel put the sword into the sheath,
the plague did presently cease, which had reigned a long time before

7

MOST WORTHY TO BE SEEN IN ITALY, &c. 95

in the city. Hard by this angel of marble-stone, doth stand a won-
derous great and high ship mast, on which is hung a great flag of
triumph, on a principal feast-day, when, also, is rung a thundering
peal.of great ordnance. Hard by, do lie two pieces, that carry seven
Italian miles. Then you go back again, through a narrow gallery,
where, on your right hand, is a door, that leadcth to the pope’s house
of victuals; and, a little beneath, another door of iron, that goes in
where the pope’s treasure is, and the whole city’s of Rome. Then give
the soldier, that went about with you, something to drink, that his
other fellows may not see it, else he must part it with them. Then you
come again to the watch-gate, where the weapons are given you; con-
tribute somewhat amongst you to bestow upon them to drink, and then
the drummer strikes up lustily. And, when you come to the outmost
watch-gate, where are the ancient, licutenant, and other officers, bestow
something on them, and so take your leave. This castle is, by nature,
so strong, that, as yet, it was never gotten by any enemy. It was first
built fora mausoleum to the Emperor Adrian, a place of funeral; after-
wards it was madea strong fort. There are, at this time, raised about it
five great and main bastions, or ramparts. The city of Rome hath been
seven times overcome, but the castle never. By the castle, is a church,
called Sant Transpontina, wherein are two pillars, on which, as they
say, St. Peter and Paul were scourged. Go a little further to St. Peter’s
Place, near whereunto lies the Emperors ambassador, in a church
called St. John; where is a table of white marble-stone, on which our
Saviour Christ was circumcised, which was brought from Jerusalem to
Rome. This stone should have been carried. further, to another place
(four horses drawing thereat) but, as it came to the place where it is
now, the horses would draw no more, notwithstanding they were
beaten so long, till they fell down and died; and, therefore, this church
was built there, in perpetual honour and memory, and it was lifted up,
and laid on an altar. Every year, on Good-Friday, are celebrated
their solemn Vigil, and there is made a fair sepulchre. Within the
Angel Castle are exceeding fair palaccs, wherein the cardinals do keep
their courts. Then go to St. Peter’s Palace, where you will sce a mar-
vellous great and high pyramid, erected upon the market-place, which
Pope Sixtus .V. caused to be transported thither, at the charge of six-
thousand crowns; and, besides, did give three thousand crowns to the
master that brought it thither, and erected it, and dubbed him a knight
of the Golden Fleece, from which honour he receives a yearly stipend.

The said pyramids, in times past, did stand for Julius Cæsar Augus-
tus Circo. And, in former times, when an Emperor, or other great
potentate, died, they used to burn their corpse to ashes, and put them
in a great golden globe, and set that on the top of the same, or such
like pyramid; but the foresaid pope did take down the globe that stood
thereon, and, instead thereof, caused his own arms to be set upon the
same, for an everlasting remembrance. Then go forward to the guard
of the Switzers, where the pope maintains two-hundred for his guard,
which are paid monthly; and, if any ofthem gets a son, and the child is
but eight days old, then he hath his duty-pay like his father.

SANTO PETRO, ^
The Popes Palace, and Church.

Hard by the Switzers guard, is the pope's palace. Enquire first for
the Bibliotheca, and, just as you come in, on your right hand, dwelleth
the gentleman that oversees thesame. Salute him, and he will appoint
you one to go about, and open the rooms, which are seventy-one; then
you shall see the most excellent books, the world not yielding the like,
and are all written. In the first room, you shall see three books, which
Virgil did write, and are sixteen-hundred years old; you shall also see,
in certain chests, wonderful excellent books, especially one, written
with clear Arabian gold; insomuch that, in those days, there would
be scarce means found to write the like, in regard it is written, as if it
were raised or cast upon the book.

There are worthy to be seen, also, the rolls, or the tables of Moses,
on which are written the ten commandments, given from God. More-
over, you shall see certain Indian books, written with barks of trees,
but not with letters, only figures. You shall see likewise, lying in chests
and settles, many books covered all with red velvet, and with gold and
silver clasps; other books, that have been former popes prayer-books.
In another room, you shall see an infinite number of printed books.
Then, friendly taking lcave, bestow something to drink, "Then go up
into the palace, and you shall see, in three most fair galleries, whole
Europe stately portrayed. And, in the uppermost gallery, is excellently
represented the manner of Pope Gregory the First’s procession; in
which the arch-angel, St. Michael, shewed himself to the pope, stand-
ing above in the castle St. Angelo. When you come down again, ask
forthe Belvedere, a marvellous fair gallery, five-hundred paces long;
at the upper end of which, is an exceeding fairstatue of Cleopatra, well
fitted for an artificial springing water-work. Go a little further, and
there are certain chests locked, wherein do lie such excellent and prin-
cipal artificial statues, as the like cannot be seen in all.Rome. Above
the same, are other rooms, wherein did dwell the prince of Gelder's
son, and also died there; but after what sort, or what death, I could
never learn.

Then enquire for the pope’s gardener, who will shew you wonderful
stately things, and will direct you how to come to the pope’s exceeding
fair gallery: Give him something to drink. Then go back again.
through the Belvedere, and, wheh you are out of that, enquire where
the pope kecps his consistorium or council, which is commonly every
Monday and Friday, in the mornings; and courteously saluting the -
guard of Switzers, who are appointed there to attend, they will let you
in, where you may see the pope, with all his cardinals, and how they
kiss his feet. When you come out from thence, you shall see a wonder-
ousfair chapel, into which the pope himself doth oftentimes resort ; and,
before the same, isastately hall, in which youshall sce, most curiously
portrayed, the last day of judgment, wrought by that excellent artificial
painter, called Michael Angelo Buonaretto, a Florentine, whose like
was not to be found. - Then you shall go out of the chapel, into the
great hall, named La Sala Beale, wherein the pope gives audience to

/

MOST WORTHY TO BE SEEN IN ITALY, &c. 97

ambassadors or orators, which is always done publickly, that every
man may hear, and is therefore called Consistorium publicum. Then
you shall go from the hall, down a very stately pair of stairs; on the
vight hand, there is a door, through which they go into the sacristy,
a prelate having the custody thereof, he is called sacristano; you must
ask leave of him to see the same. In this sacristy are kept the pope’s
robes, which he useth to say mass, and are forty several pieces, each
one worth thirty-thousand crowns, and, in particular, that which was
presented by the King of Portugal, to Pope Gregory the Thirteenth,
which is valued at eighty-thousand crowns. "Then go into the next
room, on the right hand, where is a wooden chest, in which is a golden
cup, wherewith the pope celebrates mass, and many others, which I
omit to write of ; only that cup which the great Duke Cosmus gave to
Pope Gregory the Thirteenth, the weight of which is twelve ounces of
gold, the cover set all over thick with diamonds and rubies; on the
same is the name Jesus, set with diamonds, the length ofa finger. That
cup is of great value; and in the same is a golden spout, through which
the pope communicates, when he celebrates mass. Further you shall
see certain chests full of silver candlesticks pertaining to the altars,
twelve apostles in the height of a man, and perfuming vessels, and other
rich plate: bestow somewhat to drink. You may try to see the pope's
chamber of treasure, but it is a very difficult thing to get leave; where
are certain chests, in every of which, is kept the treasure that each pope
did leave, shortly before their deaths; it is not possible to be described.
I had the fortune to get in with a princess great with child, whereby I
had a sight thereof. You may courteously intreat the L. Guarda Rabba
to help you in, which he may do if he pleases. After which you shall
see the pope's wonderous fair gallery, which Pope Gregory caused to
be made, being adorned with incomparable stately works of painting of
figures, pictures, and histories, all over gilded. ‘This gallery is three-
hundred paces long, and more, where the pope does often recreate him-
self, walking up and down.

When you are out of this gallery, you shall come into the pope’s first
chamber, where there is an excellent, great, and fair looking-glass.
Afar off, a man shall see a stately palace orcastle, and, as you draw
nearer unto it, you shall see therein the pope as naturally as if he were
present; after which, go under the glass, and you shall see yourself,
the pope vanishing away. Go further, into the pope's chambers,
wherein he lies, all which are hung with red velvet, richly embroidered,
golden ridges and tenter~hooks, and the ground covered all with red
velvet. "There is hard by a little chapel, in which the mass is read
when the pope is sickly. Then taking leave, for honour's sake, offer
some reward, but nothing will be received; then go down again to the
great hall, and, if you will, go presently into St. Peter's church, turn
en the left band, and then you shall sce the place where St. Peter lay

in prison. i
The church of St. Peter, hard by the pope’s palace, is one of the
seven head churches. d :

` When you come into the church, there is, on your right hand, a
white walled gate, called La Porta Sancta, which every twenty-five

98 A TRUE DESCRIPTION OF WHAT IS

years is beaten down by the pope with a golden hammer, and opened.
Then all the cardinals do take that hammer, and strike thereupon; at
which time, many thousand people, that came thither from far, do
approach the said porta or door, to get a piece thereof, which they
carry home, and reserve the same most warily, esteeming the same for .
a sacred thing. Go forwards, and you shall sce two gates of brass,
which, as they say, were brought from Jerusalem. More inwards,
there is, on your left hand, an altar, on which is laid before the people,
to behold, the head of St. Andrew the Apostle. Over against that, on
your right hand, is laid upon an altar the spear wherewith the side of
our Blessed Saviour was pierced, and also the spunge wherewith they
gave him to drink, and also the holy sweating-cloth of St. Veronica,
all which are shewed the people on high feast-days. Further, in the
midst of the church, on your left hand, is an altar named Sanctum
Sanctorum, at which (when they carry the pope down from his palace,
into the chapel called Capella Paulina, where do lie buried half the
bodies of both the apostles, Peter and Paul) the pope is set down, and
doth his devotion, which continucs half an hour.

Then go out into the building, where, on your right hand, is a mar-
vellous fair chapel, called Gregoriana, which Pope Gregory the Thire
teenth caused to be built, shortly before his death, which cost five-
hundred-thousand crowns and more, as they affirm; and therein lies
buried the body of St. Gregory the First, whom Pope Gregory the Thir-
teenth caused to be transported thither out of another church. And,
afterwards, Gregory the Thirteenth was buried by him.

Right before this chapel stands a pillar, about which is made an iron
grate, where are done many miracles; for they do say, for a certain
truth, that our Saviour Christ did use to lean on that pillar at Jeru-
salém, when he preached in the temple. Against the same, you shall
sce an exceeding rich tomb, in which Pope Farhesius the Third is buried,
all of bell-metal naturally. Right before the old church, named Capella
Paulina, are certain marble-stone pillars, which were brought from
Jerusalem. At the altar in that chapel, doth the pepe himself celebrate
mass on high feast-days, if he be not indisposed ; and, under the same
pillar, lies the other half part of the apostles Peter and Paul. More-
over, in the new building, are four chapels, one of which Pope Gregory
caused to be finished before his death; the other three should have been
finished by the Emperor, the King of Spain, and the King of France;
but, hitherto, there is not one of them finished. This pope is resolved,
as they say, to accomplish the same, together with the new building
of St. Peter's, which is so incomparable a building, that in the universal
world cannot be found the like. Before you depart from St. Peter's
church, desire to see the pope's stable, wherein are thirty snow-white
nags or hacknies, and a milk-white ass, on which the pope uses to
ride; and, for a smallreward, they will make ready one of the same,
trimmed and furnished, as if the pope were ready to ride thereon, won-
derful stately.

Every year, on St. Peters Day, doth the King of Spain’s orator
present the pope with such a white nag; and when, on that day, the ,
pope is carried from his palace to the church, there stands his said

MOST WORTHY TO BE SEEN IN ITALY, &c. 99

Majesty's orator ready with the nag before the church door, until his
holiness is near; then they stand still with the pope, who gives his
blessing, ánd presently the white nag falls down on both his fore knees
before the pope; and then they carry his holiness into the church, and
the said orator delivers the nag to the pope's steward, with a red velvet
purse, which it carries about his neck, wherein are twelve-thousand
crowns for a yearly tribute.

Then go from St. Peter's to Campo Santo, where the Dutch nation
have their church, and you shall see a ground incompassed with a little
wall four square, which ground, as they credibly affirm, was brought
from Jerusalem in the four pillars of bell-metal, which stand before the
altar et St. John Lateran. They say, if a pilgrim be buried in that
church yard, being a Roman, he cannot consume or decay; butany
other nation, in twenty-four hours, are quite consumed; which is daily
to be seen, and much wondered at. This Campo Santo is an hospital,
ordained by Queen Anne of Austria, where are fed, every dinner-time,
thirteen pilgrims, of which a great number do assemble themselves every .
morning, standing ring-wise. Out of them the priest selects thirteen,
and brings them into a fair room, and places one of them, as resembling
our Saviour, in the midst, and on each other, six others, who arc
excellently well served at a longtable, signifying the twelve apostles.

The whole dinner-time, a priest doth read out of the holy writ, at the
table, two other ministers attending, to fill wine, and to set meat in
order; and, when they are satisfied, hand-water is viven them, and those
that desire bread to carry with them, do receive it; and then, with
thanks, they take their leave. "Then go further, if you be inclined to
go to Santo Spirito, an hospital, and enquire for Cardinal Cesius's
palace, which hath wonderful fair rooms, richly furnished, and adorned
with brave statues.

'

- SANT SPIRITO,
An Hospital, made by the Pope.

When you come in, you shall see right out before, on both sides,
three-hundred beds standing, all hung with very fair curtains, the bed-
steads carved, night-gowns, pantables, and other necessaries in order
placed by every bed. So soon as a sick body comes thither (for none
are refused) be is set on a bench, until the doctors and surgeons are
brought to him, with the apothecaries, by whom the sick are visited.
He is presently accepted, his bedding appointed, and immediately a
clean sweet shirt is given him. His cloaths are laid up, till he recovers,
or dies; and, as soon as the sick person is any whit amended, they give
him another lodging, where he is well attended fourteen days, and
more, until-he be well recovered. In this hospital are thirty persons
always maintained, only to give diligent attendance on thesick that
resort thither.

In the midst you shall see as many beds, as in the room you came in
at; and there is an altar and tabernacle, where mass is read to the sick,

^

100 A TRUE DESCRIPTION OF WHAT 19-01;

every morning. Both sides are hung with arra, in winter-time, in sum-
mer with gilded leather, from the ground to the top: . There. are con-
tinually found, in this hospital, above three-thousand persons, as,
children, nurses, widows, and other poor people, that are there: maim-
tained. This hospital, as is credibly reported, hath had every year,
income, more than two-hundred thousand crowns; butthe popes.ot late
have taken it away, so that the yearly revenue now is one million seven-
hundred thousand crowns. | Then go further to see the fair spittal,

which isa very pleasant building, adorned with stately pillars; in. which
building an Emperor may not be ashamed to. keep his court. It is as
big as a reasonable town.

‘Now, having seen: the whole castle, I would advise you to hire a
coach, ‘and so, ir order, to take a. view of the most principal things. in
the churches, as followeth : j

When you go out of the gate Sant Spiritus, look behind. you on the.
left hand, and youshall see ' that wonderful swift rive r, the Tiber, which
runs through the city, and. also the Vestigia, on eife the bridge
Trionfal diu stand, as the Romish Emperor went from the Vatican
in allstate and pomp over the same ; and. from thence to Campo Doglio,
where doth standthe Senato Romano, or council-house. Further, you
will see,- from the Porta Santo. Spirito; towards: the Angel-Castle, an
excellent fair street; go through the same, and on your right. hand, at
the foot of a hill, called Monte: Johan: Nicolo (where the Emperor
Julius Cesar had s circus, and the Pyramis, whichis on St. Peter's.
place) where at that time was a monastery, named Honofro,, pertaining `
to the Cardinal Madrazi.

Go forwards through the gate, and on. the right hand you shall see,
right: against the hill, a monastery, named St. Petri Montorio, where
is built a chapel, like a round temple, very pleasant to behold); go
down from thence, and there is an altar, and two pillars of marble
stone, between which, as they certainly affirm, St. Peter the apostle
was martyred and crucified ; from thence you may plainly behold the
whole city of Rome. Then go back to St. Maria Trastevere, where are
wonderous brave columns, and. an ancient church. Under the great
altar is a place, where was.a spring of very costly oil at the time when
our Saviour Christ was born; after whose birth: the spring did. lose
itself, and ceased, and! therefore. the church was: built on that place..
Further, go towards the two bridges; one of which, named. Insula,
is. fastened in. with: clear white. marble-stone, naturally resembling, a
great ship, wherein doth stand in the midst a Pyramis, named. Ponte
de quatro Capi. Go over the bridge towards the Jews town, and: you
shall’ see; on your left hand an antiquater, which was, in times: past,
Theatrum Marcelli; it is, on the one side, as yet unruinated. Then
inquire for Santa Maria del Portino, wherein you.shallsee, behind the
great altar, a pillar that shines and lights like a torch day. and. night,
which should have been: transferred to St. Peter's, but, this being so
ancient a church, the pope, without breaking the orders, may not take
it away. Not far from thence is Pontius Pilate’s palace, built. of red.
bricks, being, in those days, a curious fine work; it is: almost alto-
gether ruinated, and. no man) caw safely dwell therein, by reason of

i

i

' MOST WORTHY TO BE SEEN IN ITALY, &c. 101

‘continual hurly-burlies, or terrible appearances. » Over against the
‘same, you shall see two ancient temples, the one long-wise, ‘called the
Temple of the Sun, the other round the temple of the Moon, built in
time past in honour of the planets; they are much decayed, by reason
of bad weather and long standing. |

Go further, and see the mighty great hill, Monte Palatino, which

is one of the seven hills of Rome. Underneath, hard by a raver you

shall see a great marble-stone, rownd likea mill-stone, having two eyes,

‘a nose, and a wide mouth, La Bocca della Verita, in English, The

Mouth of Truth; for, in those days, the people used to run thither to
inquire after unknown things, as, complaining of adultery, or such
like; the party suspected, putting his finger into that mouth, did

‘swear his innocence; -and he or she that did swear falsly, the mouth did

bite off his finger. Credat qui volet.

"The church, on which this stone doth lean, is very ancient, and in
which St. Augustine kept school. Go also further, and you may look
into the Tiber, where, in time past, did stand the bridge, named Pons
Supplicum, upon which that valiant Roman, Horatio Cocles, did
fight, and alone withstood the Tuscans so long, till the bridge fell down
behind him; whereby the city of Rome was preserved; he himself, with
his horse, leaping over the bridge into the sen was saved, having
thereby manfully overcome the enemy.

Go towards St. Paul, on your right hand, anid you shall see a great
hill, raised up only with potsheards, and other strange earth; for, as,
on a time, the Emperor would tax the world, he did desire that from
every part thereof each one should bring him for a tribute a pot full of
earth to that place; and so the hill was made, as aforesaid. In the
time of Pope Pius the Fourth, they did use now and then to set up pales
and rails on that ground, and gave some rich prize to be won; then
brought wild buffalóes and bulls, on which they hung pow der and
squibs, setting them on fire, when they would run amongst other buffa-
loes, making them furious; and then the Romans would take each of
them a pale; 'and he, that should overcome and kill one of those buffa-
loes, did receive a prize.

Then go to St. Paolo alla Porta, where doth stand an ancient
pyramid, half part of which is built within the city, aud half without.
In the wali is a tomb twelve-hundred years old; and they say, that the
first pope of Rome lies buried there. Go further towards the gate
through a long street, and you shall see by the way a little church by
which St. Peter shewed himself, as St. Paul was led out to suffer and
to die, and there St. Peter took his leave of him. You may read on the
wall of the church, in what most pitiful manner the two apostles
departed, insomuch as whoso doth read it can scarce forbear weeping. -

ST? PAUL'S,

Is a mighty great chureh, built by the Emperor Constantine, in
honour of St, Paul’s head, which was found there at that time. Without

102 A TRUE DESCRIPTION OF WHAT IS

the church are four holy gates, which every twenty-five years are once
opened. When you come into the church, on your right hand, is an
altar, which was a well when St. Paul was beheaded, and before the
church was built, into which well those that had compassion of Paul
did cast his head, which being found, the church was there built.
Take a view of the church, which is adorned with forty-eight mighty
great marble-stone pillars, of all manner of colours, curiously wrought,
so great and high, that the like are not to be seen in all Rome. - á

In the midst of the church, you shall see a chapel, wherein Queen
Bridget of Sweden did use to do her devotion. Right against that chapel
stands a crucifix, and Queen Bridget had a littlé window in the chapel,
thro’ which she might see the crucifix, where she did her devotion with
such fervency, that the crucifix turned, and looked towards the window,
and stands so to this day; and there are great indulgences and pardons
for sins, to be obtained every year, byfsuch as dojheartily and unfeign-
edly desire the same. Above the great altar do lie buried three inno-
cent children, which were slain by Herod's command. There are also
seven altars privileged ; so that, if any person be loth to go as far as St.
Peter's, they may here have as many indulgences and pardons for their
sins, as they can have at St. Peter's. Then enquire for the sacristan,
and he will lead you into the sacristy, and shew you the relicks upon
the altar; he will shew you the arm of St. Arma, our dear loving mother,
with skin and bone, through a window of chrystal; the arm is fastened
in with silver, which I myself have touched. Further you shall see
the chain in which St, Paul was bound in prison, which chain, if any
man puts it about his neck, he shall never, all the days of his life, be
fettered in iron chains, nor imprisoned, as they say. "There are also
many other relicks, as, the water wherewith Christ was baptised; certain
stones wherewith St, Stephen was stoned ; and also half the corpses of
Peter and Paul.

At that time, when Charles the Fifth, Emperor, was at Rome, he
desired the pope to grant him a request which he would ask, promising,
that he would desire neither land, nor money, nor any thing that was
worth money. The pope demanding what it was, the Emperor said,
he did only crave one of the links of St. Paul's chain; but the pope
gave him no more than half a link, as is this day to be scen, the other
half part remaining yet on the chain. Bestow something then to drink.
Afterwards go towards the three fountains. There was St. Paul be-
headed, whose head being struck off, it. leaped three times, as they
say, and at every leap it called Jesus; and presently after there sprung
up three springs, which are now compassed about very pleasantly; and
by each one doth hang a copper little pan, out of which the people
use to drink. There stands a table by the same, on which is written,
Whoso drinks out of those springs, shall attain everlasting salvation.
The Romans do run thither barefoot in the morning early to drink :
before you come to the three wells, you shall sec a hill, on which there
have been slain, by the tyrannical emperor's command, one-hundred-
seventy-four-thousand martyrs; then go from the three fountains towards
_ Sebastian's, which is one of the seven principal churches.

MOST WORTHY TO BE SEEN IN ITALY, &c. 108
ST. SEBASTIAN'S.

This church stands on the way side without Rome, called Appia,
„whither is a continual resort of a wonderful number of pilgrims, espe-
cially in the time of Lent. Hard by a place called Catatumba, is a
wall wherein did lie secretly hid the bodies of St. Peter and Paul, as
they say, two-hundred and fifty years before any body could know
what was become of them. On the same is built an altar withtespecial
privileges, at which intercession is made for the afflicted souls, that, as
yet, are detained in purgatory. i
Then desire a priest to go with you that hath a torch lighted, lest you
lose yourselves in the grotto or vault, under which lies buricd Calixtus,
` with one-hundred eighty-six-thousand martyrs. And in your going out
you shall see an altar under which Sebastian lies buried. The priest
wil] let you see divers other relicks; as, the measure and form, the
length and bigness of our Saviour’s feet, which he left on the bill at
his holy ascension. Then go towards the city again by the way of
Appia, where you shall come to a chapel, by which two ways do part:
and there did St. Peter meet our Saviour, and said, * Whither wilt thou
go?" Our Saviour answered, ‘I am come for thy sake, and to be
crucified again. Presently after our Saviour vanished away, and St.
Peter went into the city of Rome, where he was very shortly after cast
-into prison, and put to death.

PEER Me ANTONI NZ,

These Therme have been baths which the Emperor Constantine
waused to be built at an infinite cost, and admirable curiosity, the
water being led unto them twenty-seven Italian miles.

^

BI SIREPEAN REDON DO,

This was in times past a heathenish temple, pertaining to the Hun-
garian nation, but since costly built by Pope Gregory the Thirteenth,
wherein are most excellently drawn and portrayed the death and tor-
tures of all such martyrs as have suffered since the birth and passion of
our Blessed Saviour, and under what tyrants they were persecuted.

This temple, in former times, was named Paniheum, by reason all
the Gods were presented and honoured there; now there are many
reformed Jews*baptised therein, as you may sce oftentimes. Then go
towards John de Lateran, where heretofore the popes have had their
residence.

TOAN ETERA N,

One of the seven capital churches. When you go towards the church,
you shall see on your righthand a little court, where doth stand a stone

104 A TRUE DESCRIPTION OF WHAT IS

pillar of Perfido, on which the cock did stand and crow thrice, before
Peter denied our Saviour Christ. There is also a temple, wherein are
very stately pillars, and, in the midst, is a little chest, made over a
stone kettle, out of which the Emperor Constantine was christened,
who was the first Christian Emperor. Then go forwards, and enquire
for the sacristan of St. John; he will go before you with two burning
torches, and shew you a chapel underneath the church, which is never
opened but on great holidays; if you salute him courteously, he will
open it for you. Therein is a table, at which our Saviour Christ did
sit with his apostles, at the institution of the holy sacrament; it is of
wood four square. You shall sce also the staff with which Moses parted
the Red Sea, and led the children of Israel through it; also the staff
of Aaron, wherewith he governed the episcopal state. Then go out of
the church, and you shall see a chair of stone; and, they say, when a
pope is to be chosen, they sct him on the same (being hollow) to see,
whether he be fitted asa man. Hard by the same is a holy gate, which
is opened once in twenty-five years. The cieling of this church is over-
gilded with pure gold. By the great altar are four pillars of bell-metal,
exceeding fair, which were brought from Jerusalem, filled with holy
earth, forthey are hollow, and most curiously wrought. "There are
also shewed to the people, on great holidays, the heads of St. Peter
and Paul, laid upon the altar; they are yet fresh to behold with skin
and hair, as if they were living. In this church are many other relicks
and holy things, of which I omit to write. It was built by the Emperor
Constantine, and is very stately, and is adorned with pillars of marble-
stone, of allsorts of colours.

Then go into the cloisters, where doth stand a table of stone upon four -
pilars, under which every man or woman, that comes thither, do
measure themselves; but there was never any person yet found, that
was just of that height; it was, as they say, the exact stature of our
Saviour Christ. Further, there are three open doors and gates, which
have stood in Herod’s Palace, at Jerusalem, through which our Blessed
Saviour went, as he was condemned to die. Moreover, above, in the
gallery, over two fair half pillars, doth lie a beam, whereon is written,

sunder, and the vail did rend; from whence the two half pillars of —
marbie stone are clovenso neatly asunder, that it is not possible, by the
art and diligence of man, to doit more cleanly. They are also very
curiously wrought. Over against that, isa little window, wherein the
Blessed Virgin Mary did sit, as the angel Gabriel brought her the salu-
tation from God. Hard by, are a pair of stairs, and it is forbidden,
under punishment of losing body and goods, that no man must presume
to go up and down the same on his feet, but on his knees. There are
thirty-two stairs, over which our Saviour Christ went with Simon, as
he was led to be martyred, and, upon those stairs, did drop bloody
sweat, as a man may see perfectly to this day. Hard by the same, are
other stairs, and, when you are half the way up, go on your left hand,
and you shall come to a chapel, called Sanctum Sanctorum, where,
upon the great altar, is the face of our Saviour Christ, which St. Luke
pictured. In this chapel, is a piece of wood fastened into the wall,

also three thorns of the crown, that pierced his holy head; likewise
the title, which Pilate writ on the holy cross, in Hebrew, Greek, ‘and

- St. Laurence’s church doth stand a mile from the place where his

wipe it out. There is also a piece of the gridiron, upon which he was
broiled; and here lies St. Stephen buried, and certain stones are there

ST. MARIA MAGGIOR,
One of the Secen Churches.

When you go to this most fair excellent church, on the outside about,
you will wonder to see the admirable costly entry, built by Pope Gre-
gory the Thirteenth. You shall also see one of the seven holy gates,
which is but once opened in. twenty-five years. Then go from thence,
to John Lateran, which church is adorned with fair tombs; on the stile,
where the chapel doth stand, there are also very stately columns, and
the roof thereof is very richly painted, and over-gilt. "l'hereis, on the

. right side, by the great altar, a very fair chapel, built by Pope Gregory

the Thirteenth ; and, just thereby, is a mighty pyramid erected, which
is like to that at St. Peter's. This chapel is also like to that where
Pope Gregory lies buried, which he caused to be built; but this

did Sextus the Fifth build, who lies there buried. The said pyramid,

in former time, did lie a long while in the street of St. Rocha,

parted in three parts; and Pope Sixtus caused them to be conveyed

into his chapel. There have been two of these pyramids, which were

erected in the Mausoleum of Augustus Cæsar, hard by his tomb;

but, as Rome was devasted, they were ruined. The Mausoleum yet is
very delightful to behold, wherein doth dwell a Roman, by whom, a
man may learn the particulars thereof. In the church Maria Maggior,
you shall see the manger, wherein our Blessed “Saviour did lie at Beth-
Ichem, together with many other relicks, which the sacristan may shew
you; otherwise, they are to be seen only on great holidays. In the
choir, is a fair epitaph and tomb of Pope Nicholas the Fourth, which
is wonderous stately and admirable, richly adorned. Before the choir,
on the left hand, is an altar, under which St. Jerome lies buried. When
you go out of the church, on the right hand, you ‘shall see an altar,
on which is written the original cause of the building of the church;
namely, there were two married persons, that had no children, and
were so rich, that they knew not what to do wherewith. In the twelfth
night, in the month of August, they dreamed, that they should arise
before day, and go up towards that hill, where it had snowed, and-
there they should build a temple; which they did accordingly, and
began to dig, with their own hands ; and the pope came, just at that
instant, with his servants, with intent, as he had also dreamed, to build
a temple there; and, therefore, it is yet the custom, every year, on
the twelfth of August, for a memorial, to solemnise a great feast ;
and, from the top of the church, they let fall certain things, sceming
as if it did snow. When you will go back again through the church,
towards the holy gate, you shall see another church, named Santa
Potentiana; therein is half a pillar of green marble-stone to be seen
through a grate, on which our Blessed Saviour, Christ Jesus, was
whipped. In this church are two wells, wherein the two sisters, St.
Praxedis and Potentiana, did use to drop the blood of the martyrs,
which they took up with a spunge. Then go back again, through St.
Maria Maggior, and, as you go down the hill on your right hand, there
the Pope did visit, on a time, the seven. churches. As he came by
Cardinal de Monte Alto's garden, he enquired whose fair and pleasant
palace that was; answer was made, The Cardinal de Monte Alto's,
After which, Pope. Gregory the Thirteenth did weaken his revenue,
per annum, by four-thousand crowns; which cardinal was afterwards
pope, and named Sixtus Quintus. Over against the same, you shall

vu. an ancient church, called Pancratio, where, on a time, a priest did
say mass, and did doubt, that it was no sacrament, and that our
Saviour Christ was not in Ostia; and it chanced, as they say, that it
fell out of his hand, on a point of the corner of the altar, being a white
marble-stone, on which the Ostia left the print thereof; just as big, as
it was from the corner, it fell upon a stair, on which likewiseyit left the
print thereof, and the form very naturally, only the print did change
itself into a blood-red colour.

Then go further to St. Maria de Monte, where is as frequent a pil-
grimage, as at Maria Loretto. In the place where this church doth
stand, there stood, in former time, a barn, and it was intended to have
built a house there; and, as they began to. dig, there was heard a
mighty oracle, and therefore they digged more softly, where then was
found the picture of the Virgin Mary; which being made known to the
pope, he went and fetched the same with a solemn procession, and it is

MOST WORTHY TO BE SEEN IN ITALY, &c. 107

kept still in honour of the Blessed Virgin; wherefore, Pope Gregory
the Thirteenth caused, on the place, a church to be built at his own
charges. This church is built all of marble-stone, most cunningly;
and, in especial, the great altar, where the picture, that was found,
is most richly adorned. Inthe said church, do hang divers tables,
wherein is noted the miracles which, in former times, have been done
there, and yet daily are done; those, therefore, that go in pilgrimage
thither, and do pray with a strong and certain hope, are heard, and.
their suits obtained, as you yourselves may thereby be truly assured.
There are daily Indulgentia plenaria and remission of sins, ‘Then go to
St. Peter in Vinculo.

" punt METER TNIV INCU LO:

In this church you shall see an excellent epitaph and tomb of Pope
Leo the Second; which is an incomparable piece of work, and all of
white marble-stone, and alabaster; there is a statue of Moses, the
heighth of two men, of one intire piece, and also other fair statues; the
monks can shew you many holy relicks, together with the chain with
which St. Peter was fettered in prison. Without in the cloisters, it is
very pleasant winter and summer, being planted with orange-trees, and
in the midst a mighty date-tree, like to which there are none found,
neither in Rome, nor in all Italy. The monastery is also situated won-
derous pleasant, being a building so well fitted, that the Pope might
conveniently keep his court therein.

which is sorare and excellenta building as is wonderful to behold.

The overseer of the same was in my time a Low-Country man; he
will shew you such exceeding fair rooms, and chambers, as the like are
scarce to be seen any where else, adorned with stately arras all of cloth
of gold, and tissue; tables of precious stone, and beds richly furnished
beyond ‘comparison; statues and’ pictures portrayed so naturally, as
that the beholders are enticed to embrace them in their arms, falling in
love with them, they sceming laughing and living creatures. Desire to

work made three or four-hundred years since, and other rare things
whereof I omit to write; there is also pictured the tower of Babylon on
a square piece, which cost above ten-thousand crowns. This noble-
man is of the ancient Roman race; his lady is the daughter of Cardinal
Farnesius, so beautiful that, in Rome, she may not be compared; you
shall see two very excellent fair gardens, graced with admirable pictures,
and statues: bestow a little to drink. ` Go from thence as if you would

go towards your lodging, and enquire for the Cardinal of Florence’s
house, where you shall see a most excellent fair palace, but little. It is
wholly to be compared to a fair jewel; you must intreat the keeper
thereof, not to with-hold any thing from your sight, promising him a
reward, and then he will shew you orderly one thing after another, as
rooms, chambers, and gardens, set forth and adorned with arras of gold
and tissue, wonderous fair statues, and tables of precious stone. In sum,
every particular as rich and costly as may be devised. Also, in the gar-
den, a cage wherein are all kinds of birds making sweet harmony, divers
rare water-works, and plenufully planted with cypress-trees, yielding a
savour so admirable sweet, as the body therewith may be ravished.
There are also mighty great vaults under ground, wherein they used to
dine and sup in summer-time, by reason of the extraordinary heat,
which are adorned with rare pictures, statues, and histories; the placein
former time being a waste and ruined ground,and decayed wall, fallen
from the temple of Peace, which stands just behind the same; being of
a great antiquity, built by the old RomanEmperors, after Jerusalem was
destroyed, thereby to signify that they had no need to maintain wars,
for they thought there was no nation in the wor]d, that durst war against
them. ‘The building is so strong a work, that it was intended, it should
remain as long as the world stood ; but, as our Saviour Christ was born,
the said temple fell, and yet, every Christmas night, there falls a great
piece from the same. ;

COLUMNA TRAJANA

When you desire to go up to this mighty great pillar, you must call
to the stone-cutter, that dwells over-against the same, who hath the
key thereto: But he will have something to drink, before he openeth the
same.

They say, that this pillar was built by the Emperor Trajan, after he
had won Jerusalem, in memory of his victory, all of white marble-stone,
wherein are engraved orderly all the battles and victories, which he hath
had. A man may ascend up to the top of this pillar in the inside one-
hundred and eighty-six stairs high, the stone-work being so orderly laid
upon the other, that one would verily think the whole pillar, was but
one intire stone. I will give you warning of one thing when you come
` up: Sit and rest, before you look up to the top of the pillar, or before
you go round about it on the outside, for I myself, unawares, was almost
dizzied and ready to fall. From this column you may sce over the
whole city ; then you may go towards the other pillar, called, Columna,

fell down; by reason whereof no man could go up these many years; bu
the Pope; that was last, hath caused tlie same to be well repaired, and
now they go up thereunto. Then go presently to the street, named, de
Popolo, where the Cardinal Ferdinando de Medicis (he that is now
great Duke of Florence) hath an exceeding fair and stately palace, and
garden of pleasure. The palace lies on an hill, named Monte Trinitatis.
First shall be shewn you the hall, wherein, you shall see mighty square
pieces of stone; and, by the window, is a water-spout erected so high,
that a man may wash his hands, standing in the gallery above; and
from thence also you may look over the city of Rome. Then go from
the hall into the sixteen chambers, or rooms, where you shall always
look out of them into the others, if the doors stand open; which rooms
are so richly adorned and furnished with arras of wrought gold and sil-
ver, as no Emperor, or Pope, hath the like; and, as the walls are hung,
so are the beds dressed accordingly. The rooms are graced with rare
tables of precious stone, and oriental pearl set therein, and also with
brave statues and pictures. You shall see on a table a little temple,
and, when a man puts his head into it, he shall think it were a church
ofa mile in compass, having certain hundred pillars, the prospective
looking-glass therein causing the same. You shall see, in one of the
rooms, a very fait sphere, fitted for astrology, which the great Duke
Cosmusdid use. "Then go up the stairs, where are also exceeding state-
ly rooms, adorned with mighty statues, costly arras and tables, and ex-
ecllent rare pictures. There is a looking-glass, in which (standing a
little space from it) you shall sce plainly the city of High Siena, together
with the manner of the besieging it; and, when you draw nearer unto it,
you shall see the Great Duke naturally as if living; but, when you come
just to it, you beliold yourself only and alone. Then, going out of the pa-
lace, on your left hand, you shall see two lions, an eagle, a leopard, and
other strange beasts. When you goa little further, you shall see a tower
standing at the end of the garden, on the old city wall, where a man
may go out of, and into the city, when he pleases; such a privilege hath
never any nian had in Rome, but only this Cardinal; for, as he was re-
solved to build a palace there, he shewed his grievance to the senators of
the city, namely, that, the place being altogether a hill, it would be am
infinite charge to bring itinto a plain; neither did he know whither all
that earth should be conveyed, that would be taken from the bill ; and,
therefore, he obtained leave of the Pope to break a hole through the
city wall to carry the earth conveniently away, and to make a door to
open and shut, at pleasure. They thought heshould have enjoyed the
conveniency of that door, no longer than the time of his building, but
he was toocrafty for them, the door remaining there to this day. ^ Goa
little further, and there is a stone pit, where are very rare statues
made and repaired; for, what antiquity soever the Cardinal can have
for money, that he buyeth to adorn and furnish the said palace. Not
far from thence, the Cardinal caused a hill to be made, and one-hundred
and fifty stairs to go up; on the top, is built ar excellent pleasant sum-
mer-house, with many rare green and fruitful trees, compassing the same,
in which house he uses to dine and sup, when the weather is hot. There

place you may overlook the‘whole city of Rome. The hill is overgrown
from the bottom to the top with cypress trees, which is as pleasant a
prospect as man can imagine. The garden is adorned with such and so
many artificial and rare water-works, plants, and statues, as would drive
a man to admire; and, in truth, the ‘like is in all Rome not to be seen.
"The Cardinal, on a time, invited certain noblemen to a supper in that
garden, the drink only to which supper did cost sixty-thousand erowns;
judge then what the whole feast did cost. The compass ofthe garden is
two Italian miles, and very broad. Then do not neglect to go to the gat-
den of a certain knight, named Nero; where is built a little palace, but
wonderous stately, and a room made. all of chrystal glass, Then eo out

PALATIO FARNESIO.

If this palace had been finished, it were the biggest, fairest, and strong-
est of all others in Rome, with wonderful high rooms, which the Pope,
Paulus Farnestus, caused to be built. Go in on the right hand under
the vault, and there dwells the overseer that hath the key; he will shew
you every thing in order; bestow something upon him to drink. And,
first, you shall see a mighty great hall, the sight of which will make
you wonder, by reason of the great height, the ceiling being cunningly
raised beyond comparison, all | of cypress wood. In this hall is a long
table of orienta] marble-stone and alabaster, set with pearl, Lapis Lazuli,
and other costly stones, which the Cardinal would not part with for
eighty-thousand crowns. Then go intothe other rooms, which are all
royally furnished ; and in the first room are the ancientest emperors na-
turally portrayed ; therein is also an 1dol, which the Romans (heathenish
opiniated) did adore. In this room are three great tables of oriental
alabaster, set with divers other precious stones, glistering like a burning
torch. Before this room on the right hand is a little chapcl, and upon
the altar a wonderful fair square, painted by that famous artisan Michael
Angelo, a Florentine, and thereon the Last Day of Judgment, so exqui-
sitely and cunningly, that no where the like may befound ; bestow to
drink. Go then down again into the court-yard, where you shall see
six mighty statues, made by two perfect cunning masters, for a great
wager, namely, two Commodi Imperatores, two Dea Flora’s, and two
Hercoli, worthy of cach experienced beholder, which of them are made
most cunningly. Not far from thence you shall come into another
court, and there js a mighty ox, and three statues; a dog, a shepherd,
and a concubine, nigh as if they were alive there present.. These said
pieces are made of one whole intire white marble-stone, which is an ad-
mirable piece of work, touching the particulars whereof there were
much tp be written. But the histories will largely declare the same,
which are to be. found in the Emperor Antoninus's Therme, having

Go over-against that place, and take a view of a bishop's palace,whercin
are wonderous fair statues,

The Palace of the Bishops of Valencia in Spain.

"There, in the first room above, stands a mighty fair statue, named
Apollo, exceeding old, and yet no whit at all decayed, of oriental ala-
baster; the said bishop was offered, by the Cardinal de Medicis, twenty-
four thousand crowns for the same; but the bishop would not take it.
Then go over Campo de Fiore, where Cardinal Farnesius d wells.

This is an extraordinrry fair building, four-square below, and above»

you will much wonder; whoso can carry them away, may keep them.

and without seeing it, for itis built like to the palace; therein is an arm

The Jesuits Church, which the Cardinal built at his own charge.

This is a marvellous stately temple, covered all over with copper, ex-
ceeding high, great, and wide. In the choir stands an altar, which, to-
gether with the tabernacle, did cost about thirty-thousand crowns, with
very fair-and stately pillars of marble-stone. Also, the Cardinal caused,
for forty-thousand crowns, gold coin or pence to be made, and also some
of silver and brass, on which were stamped his picture. ‘The same he
Jaid, witb his own hands, for a foundation; and afterwards such of his
friends, as he had heretofore invited, did thelike, for an everlasting me-
mory. The building of this temple continued five years, all upon the

. cardinal's cost and charges. They affirm, that this temple cost a certain
ton of gold the building. One ton of gold is reckoned at twenty-thou-
sand pounds sterling.

Then go right oat through the straight street, and you shall come to
the Campodoglio,

CAMPODOGLIO, or the Romans Council-house.

In this Campodoglio, or Capitolium, did the Romans use to sit in
council; it was afterwards made a strong castle, being in the time of war
devasted, but repaired again by Pope Gregory the Thirteenth, and adorn-
ed with a fair clock-tower. Go into the court, and up an exceeding
stately pair of stairs, before which are two great horses of marble-stone ;
and another above, in the court, of bell-metal, on which sits the Emperor
Adrian, all over gilded with pure ducat-gold, Go into another court,
and there Jies a head on the ground, which is made very perfectly ;
it pertains to the head named Campodoglino; it was in times past a
statue, standing there for an ornament, and it shall be erected again in
like manner as it hath been... Many have laid wagers, that the face is
not a man’s length, but, being measured, it is longer; whereby one may
guess how great the whole body hath been, and how, much the erecting :
thereof cost. Go further, and you shall behold wonderful excellent
histories and statues; then go beyond, where they sit in council, where
are stately statues and glorious pictures, and in what manner the Ro-
man Emperors in triumph have gone through the gate,when they return-
ed home with laudable victories. You shall see also rare antiquities.
Bestow something to drink, Then go right over-against the Campodog-
lio, into the Church, named Maria Ara Celi.

SANTA MARIA, Ara Ceil.

This is a very ancient church, over-against which are stairs an hun-
dred and forty-two steps high, on which you may overlook all Rome,
When you come into the church, you shall see the cicling all over gilded
with pure ducat-gold. There are wonderful brave and stately great pil-
Jars, all of marble-stone; there is an altar hard by the choir, where you
shall see, upon a white marble-stone, two prints of feet, left by the angel
Michael, in the Angel Castle, when he put up the naked sword, and
presently vanished. Not far from thence, before the church was built, did
St. Hieronymus (as they say) shew unto the Emperor Constantinc the
Virgin Mary, with the child Jesus in her arms, which was there also
seen in theair; whereby the Emperor came to the acknowledgment o£
the Christian Faith, and from whence the church was named, and built
by the said Emperor Constantine. Go afterwards out of that church
down the stairs; there is a place, called Capo Vacchino,, where was
made a bridge, in times past, from the Campodoglio, over to the palace
Maggior, where do staud three marble-stone pillars, one by another, over

which the bridge was made. By the said three pillars, Marcus Cur-
tius, with his horse, did leap down.

—
MARCUS CURTIUS.

They do constantly affirm,that by these three columns, in former times,
was a mighty and ugly hole, which, for the space of a long time, did

MOST WORTHY TO BE SEEN IN ITALY, &c. 113

yield a very noisome smoke and stink; and, whosoever did smell the
same, he fell suddenly down, and died. And although they did often-
times attempt, by casting into the hole many things, to choak it up,
yet nothing did help, nor hinder the fifthy savour thereof. But, on
a time, there was heard a voice, that came out of that hole, saying,
The hole would not be shut up, nor the noisome scent be asswaged,
unless a Roman did leap thereinto with a horse.

Now, as Marcus Curtius (being a Roman of noble parentage and
spirit) did understand the same, he made offer to the senate of the city,
that (since the welfare of the city, and his native coüntry, depended
thereon) he would venture his life for the common good, and with his
horse leap down, provided that one suit might be first granted unto bim;
namely, that, for the space of one whole year, he might have free
liberty to accomplish his lust, and desire, with fair and beautiful
women, and virgins, and that none, whom he should take liking of,
might be denied him ; which request was granted him by tbe Roman
senate. So,afterthe year was ended, wherein he enjoyed what his heart
could wish, he mounted on horseback, and leaped into that hellish
fiery pit, which instantly did.close of its own accord, and thereby that
mischief was ceased. Right over-against the same, did stand the house
of Cicero, where, as yet, you may sce the old walls thereof. When you
go from the Campodoglio, you shall see a port of triumph, which the
Roman senate caused to be made for Vespasian the Emperor, as he
came from Jerusalem, to Rome, through which he rid in most magnifi-
cent state.

Over-against the same, you shall see the Temples of the Planets near
together,

eae

THE TEMPLES OF THE PLANETS.

There are seven of those temples built by Pontius Pilate’s house, in
honour of the planets, but now they are devasted. And not far from
them, there is built another temple, called De la Pace, or Temple of
Peace, which fell in as Vespasian came from Jerusalem, and every
Christmas since the birth of Christ, there hath fallen, and yet, as they
say, a great piece doth yearly fall from the same. Then go towards the
Amphitheatrum Vespasiani; you must pass through a triumph-port.
Before the same without, there is an old decayed wall, where formerly
the people did use to see the spectacles in the circus, and out of which
wall did always run wine, of which the spectators did drink as much as
they listed. ‘This Amphitheatrum was built by the Emperor Vespasian,
' in which may sit conveniently and well accommodated 50,000 persons,

to behold the rare spectacles. The Emperor himself, in this place, .
did overcome, and slew in fight, with his own hands, one-hundred wild
and furious beasts, in one afternoon; but he fought only with one at
once, and one after another. i

seven halls, coming into which you shall see on each side seven halls,
where, in former time, the Emperor Adrian had his palace, and, dwelt
there. It is somewhat dangerous to venture into the said halls, being
under ground, for some bave perished therein; then go the next day, to

so great a circuit, and adorned with so many columns and pillars of

and all other necesaries beyond all comparison. Pope Gregory the
Thirteenth hath transferred this building to an hospital; in which do
stand eight mighty pillars of marble-stone, each one so big, that men
can scarce fathom it about; in height they are ninety feet. Over-against

Not far from thence is a smelting-house, and hard by, a horse cast of
bell-metal, wonderful artificially, with the King of France sitting
thereon, named, Henry, most naturally, and were he living, the same
should have been sent into France. The city is built round with strong
walls, and mighty towers, standing near one another, The city of Rome
is in compass about above five Dutch miles,

Hereafter follows what is to be seen without Rome.
TIVOLI, a Palace and Garden, three Dutch miles from Rome.

This is a marvellous stately palace. The keeper of it is a gardener $
you shall see therein admirable rich furnished rooms, hung with
cloth. of gold and silver, and the beds adorned correspondently.
Therein are also excellent fair statues, and tables of precious stone set
with oriental pearl. [n the great hall is an artificial water-chest. When
the cardinal, in summei-time, doth dine in the same, the whole is made
pleasing cold, by the spirting of water out of the said water-chest, from
whence also, the wine standing on the table is quickened. "The parti-
cular situation of the whole city of Rome, and the pleasant prospect
thereof, doth present itself fully to the spectators in this great hall.
Then you may go down from the palace into the garden, where you
shall be led into a vault, or grotto, where you shall see a terrible
downfull of water, from whence all the other artificial water-works
have their motions. Then you shall be led to a place, where
you shall hear the organs play melodiously, as if an artificial
master did play thereon; but the motion is derived from the water-
‘spouts, continually spirting as long as the organs do sound, the water
being spouted higher than the tops of the spouts, at least the height of
six tallmen. Goa little further, and you shall see a dragon with four
heads, spouting water the height of six men, with so great a noise, as
if many many musquets were continually discharged, the water being
ef so black a colour, that it resembleth an ugly smoke, fearful to
behold, Then you shall see the Grotto, named Sibylla, full of admi-
rable antiquities and statues. The gretto, both above on the ceiling,
and all over on the sides, is richly adorned with oriental coral and
mother of pearl. A little further you shall see the temples of the Seven
Planets, naturally resembling those, which formerly stood in Rome;
they are not very big, but standing exceeding pleasant, the one hard
by the other. Not far from thence is an artificial water-work, which
being let go, the birds do sing, sitting upon twigs, so naturally, as one

would verily think they were all quick and living birds, which is occa-
sioned by the water; and, when they are in the midst of their best
singing, then comes an owl flying, and the birds suddenly, all at once,
are still: 'Tnen goa little further, and you shall see twenty-fours quare
stones, like chests, having on ‘each side spouts, spirting water ore
against another; and, when the sun doth shine thereinto, the spouts and
water do give a natural rainbow, notwithstanding the weather be clear į
which is a very great wonder, and, whoso doth see it, would swear i£
were a natural rainbow indeed. Hard by are two excellent fine laby-
rinths, remaining green winter and summer: bestow something to drink,
and then return to Rome again.

Hereafter follows the way from Rome to Naples.

From Rome to Torre a Mezavia, an inn, six miles; from thence to
Marina, a little town, six miles; from thence to Velletri, a pleasant
town, where is made much boiled wine (take heed of it) eight miles ;_
thence to Cisterna, a little town, pertaining to the Cardinal Sermoneta,
six miles; from thence to Sermoneta (lying very pleasant on a hill, a
fine town, and strong fort, from whence they ring a brave peal of ord
nance, when they understand that some person of note passes by ; you
must travel hard by the same; the Emperor Charles the First did write
with his own hand, and on the altar, the year and day of his being
there, but none of his soldiers were suffered to go up) seven miles;
from Sermoneta to Casa Nova, a good inn, eight miles; thence to
Aja Badia, am inn, eight miles; thence to Terracina, a town of the
pope’s, and there ends the pope’s jurisdiction, nine miles; thence to
Fordi, a httle town (but, before you come thither, there is, by the
way, a strong watch kept, being Neapolitans, who will make search
what each traveller carries with him) it is named Alla Portella, six
miles; when they search you, take that course which is usual at the
places of custom, or at the gates, viz. grease one of them in the hand `
with a bribe, and they will presently dismiss you. From Fondi to
Molla, a great market town, laying hard by thesea, where is exceeding
good wine, and admirable cool fresh water; you may, in summer-time,
dine and sup in a garden, under citron and orange trees; you m
pluck of them as many as you please; there are excellent good: fish
also, free for every man to take.

Then go right over-against that, and enquire for the mighty strong
fort, named Gaeta; it is about half a mile thither,

the watch, promising a reward; there you shall see a fort so strong,
as is not sufficiently to be expressed. In the same, are the fairest women
by nature, that are in all Italy, being of a most courteous and friendly
behaviour. From Molla to Corgliano, an inn, where you must pass
over a great water, nine miles; from thence to Alla Bagni, or to the
Gates, an inn, eight miles; thence to Castella, a little town, nine miles;
from thence to Pozzuolo, a little town on the sea coast (if you will go
into it, you must leave your swords with the porter in the gate) then to
aninn, eighteen miles from Castella.

Ss

POZZUOLO, where have been the Baths.

Pozzuolo is a very ancient town, and, in former times, it hath been
a mighty and famous city, but devasted. You may there enquire for
one to go with you into the grotto, with a torch, where you shall sce
the Cento Camerelle, in English, the Hundred Chambers, wherein the
prophetess Sibylla did dwell, and had her command; the same are
over-grown with a hill, When you go a little further, there is a warm
water (you must take heed you go not far one from another, lest you
lose yourselves) you must bow yourselves in going, by reason of the
great heat and damps of the baths, Under the same grotto have been
most excellent baths, fitted for to cure all manner of diseases, and by
each one was set a bill, signifying the vertue thereof, according to
which, every person knew how to-rule himself, and bathe therein.

But, ona time (by reason that the sick and diseased persons had no
need of the physicians help, but did all of them resort to these baths)
certain doctors of Salerno, physicians, that dwelt thirty miles from
Naples, consulted together how to remove the cause that took away
their gain and profit ; and they went together, and, in secret-wise, did
take away the bills that were written and set on the baths, insomuch
that now no man knows the right virtue of them, or what diseases they:
are good for; and, as the said physicians returned home again, a great
tempest on the sea overwhelmed the ships, and they were all drowned.
Then go also without, up the hill, where you shall hear a roaring and
tumbling very fearful to be heard, and there runs the- water out so
warm, that one may see the eggs therein, Hard by, you shall see the
fire and smoke come out of the hill, very fearful to behold, much re-
sembling hell itself, as may be imagined; there is also a mine of brim-
stone, and, hard by the same, two terrible stinking holes, which are
called Muffletti, from whence arises poisoned air, and, therefore, no
man dare venture to go near thereunto, unless he will endanger his life.
Ifa man doth laya dog, or other beast therein, it dies immediately,
but cast it presently into the water, hard by the same, and it revives
in a moment; which is every day tried by strangers, and found true.
Then go towards Naples, and you shall come by the way to Virgil's
grotto, through which you must go, half a mile long; and, when you
are out, look upwards, and you shall see a mighty graye-stone, fastened,

a very fair building; without, before the same, do watch, day and
night, a company of Spanish soldiers; every evening, they march up
and down with flying colours, ‘Then go into the palace, and up the
stairs, you shall see the Dutch guard-watch; they are one-hundred,

the hall on your left, where you shall sec a very fair chapel; in this
hall, the viceroy doth give audience every Thursday. ‘There are won- .
derous fair rooms in this palace, and a most pleasant garden, and,
therein, a fair tennis-court; out of-this garden, the viceroy can go
secretly into the palace; by reason of which, the strangers are not per-
mitted to go into it. Not far from the palace, is an exceeding ‘well
armed house of artillery, wherein two-hundred gallies and galleasses
have room more than sufficient, and may be made inthe same. This
city ordinarily doth maintain, at their own proper costs and charges
only, to attend the approach of the enemy, two-hundred gallies. , ——

Then go to Monte Pizze Falcon, a hill, on which there is a fair
palace, with a delicate pleasant garden; right over-against which is the
strong castle and fort, named Ovo; it is also built on a rock where the
palace doth stand; but it is cut off from the same, so that the sea
surrounds the fort, and lies now in the water like an island. Then go
towards the water-work before the city, named Porro Real, from
whence all the conduits in the city have their original; it is also led
into the wells, a thing most worthy to be seen and noted. Then go
back again towards the Porta Capuan, where is a mighty fair palace,
which, in former times, was the city’s fort, but now the city council is
kept therein. Therein is also the prison, in which are most commonly.
eight-thousand persons; this palace is called the Vicary. Go over-

French Kings have had their funerals, who, in-times past, did govern

This castle is a wonderous fort, built first by the French Kings, lying
hard by the sea, provided and furnished with mighty great towers,
bastions, and very fair ordnance, and there lie in garison two-hundred
Spanish soldiers; therein are very fair habitations, inhabited with all
manner of tradesmen,

When you come into the fort, you shall see, right over-against the
court, lying a.great iron bullet, under an iron gate, which was shut at
that time, as they refused to yield to the Emperor Charles the Fifth;
for, although the Spaniards had almost got in the fort, yet, nevertheless,
the French defended themselves valiantly. When you come into the
court, you shall sce, on your left hand, certain stairs, under which is
erécted a statue ef marble-stone, of a Frenchman, who, on the said
stairs, with his two-handed sword, killed forty Spaniards, as is con-
firmed, before they could get up. By this castle, is a lower standing
in the sea, asinan island, wherein, at that time, Frenchmen lay; and,
after the Spaniards had got the fort, they could not overcome this

might, in safety, depart. This fort hath fine mighty towers, strong

is a mighty strong fort, named St. Helmo; how the same was built,
and from whence it hath the original, you shall read as followeth, `

—

St. HELMO, a Castle. dai

This hath the original, as touching the building thereof, from the Em-
peror Charles the Fifth ; for, as he fid on a morning to take the air, he
came through the street, named Capuana, where the mayor and alder-
men have a place railed about, and do therein assemble themselves, and,
in publick, hold council, named Sedia Capuana. Now, as the Einpe-
ror came thereinto, and saw the arms ofthe city pictured, and two
white horses thereby, without bits and bridles, as it were flying, and
freely ranging about, the Emperor demanded what they signified. An-
swer was made, that, as free and unbridled, as the horse, were they also
in the city. Whereupon, the Emperer immediately contrived to build
this mighty strong fort on the hill, thereby to Jay both bit and bridle in
the horses mouths, that they should not run where they listed. For, by
reason of this fort, the Neapolitans are bridled, that they dare not rise in

rebellion. This strong fort is so well provided and furnished with am-

munition and great ordnance, and situated, that it is almost invincible,
unless treachery be amongst themselves. There is not one palace in the
city, that hath not a piece of ordnance aimed thereat from the fort; and,
ifany in the same do but begin to mutiny, it is, in the twinkling, of an
eye, battered down. In this fort, are two-hundred and fifty Spanish sol-
diers, which do watch, and have their dwelling therein. And, although
the city should be gotten and won, yet no enemy could remain therein, by
reason of this fort, from whence each living creature would be de-
stroyed.

"There is not, in all Italy, a greater pomp in riding, nor fairer horses,
than in Naples; and no where so many,princes, marquisses, earls, ba-
rons, and gentlemen, riding up and down the streets, in brave attire, al-
most the whole day, attended with many servants, in fair liveries and
suits; also an excellent haven on the sea, where the greatships and gal-
lies dolie. This city is also provided with all sorts of merchandises,
especially silk wares; and there is daily such great dealing, as, in other

places, in the time of fairs. This famous city.is also very great and.

spacious, always stored with the best and costliest wines, and all other
necessaries plentifully are to be had. ‘There is one street, named Lagru-
deca; therein are above five-hundred shops, furnished with nothing but
new and old apparel, to be sold. Lastly, this city is strengthened about
with mighty walls and ramparts.

WALT A.

This is a principal and famous fort, of great strength, and the key of.
áll Christendom.

The principal fort is named St. Helmo; as soon as you come near
thereunto, certain of the knights will meet and receive you, and invite
you to dinner or supper, and, according to the number of your fellow-
travellers, you shall be well and courteously entertained ; when the wea-
ther is fair and clear, you may sec from thence the signal of the common
enemy. The knights have eight ga!lies, to be always prepared and in
readiness. And at such time, as from the fort, a sign is given of the ap-
proach of any Turkish gallies, then must always the gallies of Malta go
out to meet them, and one galley must always fight against four Turkish
gallics. For the gallies of Malta are. excceeding well and strongly pre-
pared and armed, and are, for the most part, all knights therein, for
service fitted ; none are spared, when need requires. The fort St. Hel-
mo is so well fortified, and provided with all manner of ammunition,
that it is Impossible, by the art of man, to be overcome. ‘There are also
two other forts, St. Angelo, and St. Michael. "The island Malta is, in
circuit, not above seven miles, but a great number of villages are built
thereupon; the husbandmen do all dwell along the sea-coast, and must,
every foot, keep a strong watch, to preventa sudden invasion of the
common enemy of Christendom, as oftentimes falls out, and many of
them spoiled, and their houses set on fire. A* concerning victuals, and
Other necessaries, fit for man's subsistance, there is no want at all, for
there is always sufficient transported thither. E

Now I would advise you to return back again with the gallies to Na-
ples: But you must gotheright way, as from thence to Italy, Lucd$ Ge-

. noa, Milan, and Venice, lest you come twice to see one place, and there-
by other memorable things be neglected. When, by God's help, you
arc arrived again at Naples, then you go the nearest way to Capua, an
ancient city, plentifully provided with all manner of necessaries for man;
it is also of a good length, with a very fair and high stone bridge, like
to which I have seen none. It lies from Naples sixteen miles; from
thence to Carigliano, an inn (here you must go over the water) nine
miles; and now you are on the former highways again, until you come
to Rome, and High Siena. At Siena you may have horses to Pisa,
which is thirty miles; a way to travel so pleasant, that one can judge
no otherwise, but the whole way to be a most pleasant and delightful
garden, all full of excellent, fine, fruitful trees, goodly villages, fair cas-
tles, and comely towns. In Summa, it is a paradise.

This is a famous city, aud an exceeding strong fort, which was
yielded to the Great Duke, in the Seneser wars, but, before, it was a free
state of itself, and a republica; also Siena was, but afterwards, being
overcome by Cosmus, Great Duke of Florence, and brought under his
yoke, the fort was built to keep them in subjection. "There runs also a
great river through the city, called the Arno, which runs also through
Florence; and not far from Pisa, it falls into the sea. There is also a
wonderful fair temple (a cathedral) built all of marble stone.

On the side is built an exceeding fair cloister of curious work. They
say it is very like to that built by the temple of Jerusalem. There is also
a marvellous fair steeple hard by the temple, up to the top of which a
man may ride on the outside, the stairs winding about the steeple to the
top, as a snake on a tree. The stairs are adorned with rich marble-
stone pillars, of all manner of colours, even to the very top. This stee-
ple is built by mere art, hanging or leaning to the one side, asif it would
fall at every twinkling of an eye, but when one is above, he cannot then
discern the same. ‘This steeple is held to be one of the seven wonders of
the world, being built all of white marble-stone, like to which is none
scen in the universal world. On the outside of the church is a round
temple, covered with copper, and the doors with bell-metal.

This city is graced with many fair palaces and houses, especially the
palace of the noble knights, in which they have their government. The
knights do wear, for their order, the red cross of St. Stephen, which the
Duke of Florence observes. This is provided with all manner of good
victuals plentifully, especially excellent good wine.

When you come to the gate of the city, the customers will make
search, to see what you carry; tell them that you are students, and cn-
quire for a lodging, called Santa Maria, where you shall be excellently
dieted. Enquire for Strada Nova, in which street are twelve most €x-
cellent fair palaces, built all of square pieces, being white and black
marble-stone, richly adorned, with pleasant gardens; and certain of
them have houses of artillery well furnished, and stately antiquities and
statues. Go first into the Duke’s palace, which is an excellent rare
building, in which do watch continually five-hundred Dutch soldiers,
and have all their dwelling in the palace. When you go from your
lodging towards the gate, out of which they go to Savona, hard by the
same you shall see the palace of Prince Andrea Doria, general of the
dukedom of Genoa, where you shall see wonderful rare things, besides
excellent pleasant gardens, artificial water-works, and brave statues, and,
principally, a wonderous well furnished house ofartilery. You shall
not find, in any city in all Italy, so many velvet-weavers, as in Genoa ;
they say, there are at least eight-thousand; but not any one of them
is able to gain to themselves one piece of velvet in a whole year’s space,
sonarrowly are they looked unto by the merchants.

——
Churches in GENOA.

Within the city walls are thirty parish churches, and the city hath
seven miles incircuit. There are two principal churches amongst the
rest; the onenamed St. Laurence, in which is a little chapel, where are
kept the ashes of John Badall in a silver chest; and, they affirm, that,
when there arises a great tempest on the sca, they carry that chest to the
sea-shore, and immediately the tempest ceaseth. There are done also
many miracles, as they say, in the thirty churches, by vertue of the
holy relicks which are kept there. In the said church of St. Laurence,
you shall see the dish of Semiraldo, and other precious stones, which
our Saviour Jesus Christ made out of earth, in which, with his disciples,
he did eat the Easter lamb, which was gotten, as Caesarea was overcome,
as is clearly noted in the chronicles.

mighty fort, built very strongly, with maiu walls and ramparts, so well
furnished with ordnance, and other ammunition, thatit is almost invin-
cible. Therein do lie one-hundred Dutch soldiers, and other forces; for
the Turks oftentimes use to make inroads there, with forty or fifty gal-
lies at a time, attempting to get the fort; but it hath always failed them,
there being continually kept a strong and diligent watch, which is also
very needful. Then you may go back again to Genoa, and from thence

The cells of the monks are covered all with copper; there are besides
things to be seen whereat you will wonder. Then go from thence to

MILAN.

This is the chief city in Lombardy, belonging to the King of Spain.
It is a principality, and round about strengthened with mighty walls

This temple is built within and without all of white marble-stone,
comparable to which in greatness, and fairness, there is none found
neither in Italy, nor elsewhere; every ounce of this marble stone
wrought doth cost two quartrins, and five quartrins do make a penny

"English. In this famous building are organs of clear silver.

Go from this church to Cardinal Borromeo's Palace, which is a
most stately building, adorned with main columns and pillars of marble-
stone; there is also, by the cardinal, made a gallery under ground,
through which he can go, not seen, into the church. Then enquire for
the place where formerly malefactors were executed; there did stand a
house of good fellowship or baudy-house, but the cardinal caused it to
be pulled down, and in the place a great prison to be built. Then
enquire for Santa Maria, which is an admirable fair building; thither
are many great pilgrimages accomplished with great devotion, and
Indulgentia plenaria the whole year throughout. When. you go towards
your lodging, you shall see an antiquity in St. Laurence-street, where

do stand twenty mighty great pillars of white marble-stone, in height
sixty feet. They say for certain, that the devil, with his accomplices,
did erect and build that temple in one night; but it had, as it seems,
no good foundation, for it fell down again shortly after. The whole
city is paved throughout with fair four-square stone, It hath brave
broad streets. This city hath twenty-two gates, and doth write itself
strong; at every gate are twelve-thousand well armed men, besides those
that are no citizens, and yet inhabitants, which make in one sum two
hundred-forty-two-thousand. Then go to the Citta della Capello or
Castle.

CASTLE.

This castle or fort may well be said invincible, and may by no force,
or man's policy, be gotten or overcome, but only by mere treachery;
for there are two several forts in one, but so surrounded and fastened in
and about with water ditches, that thereout may well be made three
several forts. It hath also two great, mighty, and high towers, of
four-square free-stone, and upon each one are planted three double
cannons, and upon the walls of the forts are mounted on wheels five-
hundred great ordnance, of bell-metal, continually charged. There
lie in garison seven-hundred Spaniards, with forty Dutch, all attending
the command of the Castellano or governor; there are also divers other
people within the fort, so that there are continually therein at least one-
thousand persons.

This fort is always provided with an overplus of all manner of provi-
sion and ammunition, It cannot be undermined, for a navigable water,
that runs by the city, doth flow into the ditches, and in the same are
fresh veins of well-water continually springing up. — Also is this fort of
late years better strengthened, by the building of five mighty ramparts;
so that it is.a fort strong beyond imagination; in fine, I cannot sufficiently
express the strength thereof.

THE CREED OF ST. ATHANASIUS.

Quarto, containing eight pages.

——

t iV BOSOEVER will be saved, before all things, it is necessary
G that he hold the Catholick faith.” —

A good life is of absolute necessity to salvation; but a right belief
in these points, that have been always controyerted in the churches of

ST. ATHANASIUS. 131

God, is in no degree necessary, much less necessary before all things.
He, that leads a profane or vicious life, sins against a plain acknow-
ledged rule, and the express unquestioned words and letter of the divine
law, and the dictates of natural conscience; he wilfully refuses to
advert to these monitors, and, therefore, can no way palliate or excuse
his wickedness. But he that errs in a question of faith, after having
used reasonable diligence to be rightly informed, is in no fault at all;
his error is pure ignorance: Nota culpable ignorance; for how can
it be culpable, not to know that, of which a man is ignorant, after a
diligent and impartial inquiry?

- ‘Which faith, except a man keep whole and undefiled, without
doubt he shall perish everlastingly.’

By keeping this faith whole and undefiled, must be meant, if any
thing be meant, that a man should believe and profess it, without
adding to it, or taking from it. If we take from it, we do not keep it
whole; if we add aught to it, wedo not keep it undefiled ; and either
way we shall perish everlastingly.

First, for adding. What if an honest plain man, because he is a
Christian and a Protestant, should think it necessary to add this article
to the Athanasian creed: * I believe the holy scriptures of the Old and
New Testaments, to be a divine, infallible, and. compleat rule, both
for faith and manners?’ I hope no protestant would think a man should
be damned for such addition. And, if so, then this creed of Athanasius
is at least an unnecessary rule of faith.

Then, for taking aught from this creed; the whole Greek church
(diffused through so many provinces) rejects, as heretical, that period
of it, ‘The Holy Ghost is of the Father, and of the Son;’ contending,
that the holy spirit is from the Father only. Which, also, they clearly
and demonstratively prove, as we shall see in its proper place. And,
for the menace here of Athanasius;?that they shall perish everlastingly,
they laugh at it, and say, He was drunk when he made this creed,
Gennad. Schol. A. Bp. of Constantinople.

‘And the Catholick faith is this."

Catholick faith is as much as to say in plain English, the faith of the
whole church. Now in what age was this, which here follows, the
faith of the whole church? | Not in the age of Athanasius himself;
who for thisfaith, and forseditious practices, was banished from Alex-
andria in Egypt, where he was bishop, no less than four times; whereof
the first was by Constantine the Great. He was also condemned in his
own life time by six councils, as an heretick and seditious person. Of
these councils, that at Milan consisted of three-hundred bishops; and
that at Ariminum of five-hundred and fifty, the greatest convention of
bishops that ever was. This consent of the churches of God, against
him and his doctrine, occasioned that famous proverb, * Athanasius
against all the world, and all the world against Athanasius.

For the times before and after, the curious reader may sce Chr,
Sandius's Ecclesiastical History; in which the learned author gives a
large account, by that, and whose means, the Athanasian and Trini-
tarian faith did at length prevail, against the anüent belief of but one
God, or but one who is God. Therefore, quare, With what forehead,

132 BRIEF NOTES ON THE CREED OF

the author of this creed calls this, the Catholick faith, or, faith
of the whole church? When it is certain, it bas been so in no age,
and least of all in the author's.

* The Catholick faith is this, That we worship one God in trinity;
and, trinity in unity.’

He means here, that we must so worship the one true God, as to
remember he is three persons; and so worship the three persons, as to
bear in mind that they are but one substance, or godhead, or God.
So the author explains himself in the three next articles, which are
these:

* Neither confounding the persons, nor dividing the substance; for
there is one person of the Father, another of the Son, another of the Holy
Ghost ; but the godhead of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy
Ghost, is all one. Therefore, all these articles make indeed but one
article, which is this: * The one true God is three distinct persons;
and three distinct persons (Father, Son, and Holy Spirit) are the one
true God.’ 1

Plainly, asif a man should say, Peter, James, and John, being three
persons, are one man; and one man is these three distinct persons,
Peter, James, and John. Is it now a ridiculous attempt, as well as a
barbarous indignity, to go abeut thus to make assés of all mankind,
under pretence of teaching them a creed, and things divine, to despoil
them of their reason, the image of God, and the character of our nature?
But let us, in two words, examine the parts of this monstrous proposi-
tion, as it is laid down in the creed itself.

* Neither confounding the persons, nor dividing the substance."

But how can we not confound the persons, that have, they say, but
one numerical substance? And how can we but divide the substance,
which we find in three distinct divided persons? —

‘There is one person of the Father, another of the Son, another of the
Holy Ghost."

Then the Son is not the Father, nor is the Father tbe Son, nor the
Holy Ghost either of them. I shall not need to prove this consequence,
not only because itis evident, but because it is acknowledged by the
Trinitarians. But, if the Father is not the Son, and yet is, by con-
fession of all, the one true God, then the Son is not the one true God,
because he is not the Father. "The reason is self-evident, for, How can
the Son be the one true God, if he is not he who is the one true God?
After the same manner it may be proved, that, on the Athanasian prin-
ciples, neither the Father, nor Holy Spirit are, or can be God, or the
one true God; for neither of them is the Son, who is the one true God,
according to Athanasius, and all Trinitarians. For they all say, the
Father is the one true God, the Son is the one true God, and the Holy
Ghost is the one true God. Which is a threefold contradiction,
because there is but one true God, and one of these persons is not the
other. But, if it be a contradiction, it is certainly false; for every
contradiction, being made up of inconsistencies, destroys itself, and is
its own confutation.

ST. ATHANASIUS. 135

* The godhead of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost,
is all one; the glory equal, the majesty coeternal.’

The meaning of the last clause is, That the glory and majesty of the
Son and Holy Spirit is equal to the glory and majesty of the Father;
or, the Son and Holy Spirit are equally glorious and majestical with
God the Father.

Therefore I ask, Whether the glory and majesty, with which the Son
and Spirit are glorious and majestical, be the same in number (that is,
the very same) with which the Father is glorious and majestical; or
only the same for kind and degree? If it be not the same in number,
then the godhead of the Father, and of the Son, is not, as this creed
teaches, all one; and they are not one and the same God. For two
infinite and distinct glories, and majesties, make two Gods, and three
make three Gods; as every one sees, and, to say true, the Trinitarians
themselves confess. It remains therefore that, they say, the glory and
majesty of the Son and Spirit is the same in number, and not for kind
and degree only, with that of the Father. But then it follows, that
the glory and majesty of these persons is neither equal nor coeternal.
Not equal; for it is the same, which equals never are. Nor cocternal,
for this also plainly intimates, that they are distinct; for, How coe-
ternal, if not distinct? Do we say, a thing is coeternal or contem-

orary with itself? "Therefore, this article also doth impugn and destroy
itself. Besides, if the glory and majesty of the three persons be nu-
merically the same, then so are all their other attributes. From whence
it follows, that there is not any real difference between the three persons,
and they are only three several names of God; which is the heresy of
the Sabellians.

In the next place, this creed teaches, that *the Father is incompre-
hensible, uncreate, eternal, almighty; the Son is incomprehensible,
uncreate, eternal, almighty; the Holy Spirit is incomprehensible, un-
create, eternal, almighty. Also, that each of these persons by himself
is God and Lord ; so that the Father is God, the Son is God, and the
Holy Ghost is God. Yet there are not three Gods or Lords, nor three
incomprehensibles, nor three almighties, nor three eternals or un-
created.’

Now if, in imitation of this, a man should have a mind tosay : ‘The
Fatheris a person, the Sonis a person, and the Holy Ghost is a person;
yet not three persons, but one person, I would know, why this were
not as good grammar and arithmetick, as when Athanasius says, The
Father is God, the Son is God, and Holy Ghost is God, yet not three
Gods, but one God. Or, when he says, The Father uncreated, the
Son uncreated, and the Holy Ghost uncreated, yet not three uncreated,
-but one uncreated ; and so of the rest ?

Doth not a man contradict himself, when the term or terms, in his
negation, are the same with thosein his affirmation? If not, then it may
be true, that, * The Father is a person, the Son is a person, the Holy
Ghost is a person, yet there are not three persons, but one person? For
all the fault here is only this, that, in the last clause, the term person
is denied to belong to more than one, when, in the first, it had been
affirmed of no fewer than three, For the same reason, it must be a con-

$
wes

`

134 BRIEF NOTES ON THE CREED OF

tradiction to say, ‘The Father is God, the Son is God, and the Holy
Ghost is God, yet there are not three Gods, but one God.’ For the
term God is at least denied to belong to more than one, though, in the
first clause, it was affirmed of three. Will they say, that in these words,
there are not three Gods, but one God, the term God is not denied to
belong to more than one, or is not appropriated to one? If so, then
there are not three persons, but one person; and again, there are not
three men, but one man: then Isay, these propositions do not deny the
terms person and man to belong to more than one, or appropriate them
to oneonly; which yet every body confesses they do.

But here is a numerical, or arithmetical, as well as grammatical
contradiction. For, insaying, God the Father, God the Son, and God
the Holy Ghost; yet not threeGods, but one God : A man first dis-
tinctly numbers three Gods; and then, insumming them up, brutishly
says, Not three Gods, but one God.

To these things it will, perhaps, be answered, that when we say,
God tbe. Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Ghost; or thus, the
Father is God, the Sou is God, and the Holy Ghost is God; the term
God is used personally. But, when it is said, thereare not three Gods,
but one God; the term God is used essentially, and therefore compre-
bends the whole tbree persons; so that there 1s neither a grammatical,
nor arithmetical contradiction. But this remedy is worse, if possible,
than the disease; for it owns that there are three personal Gods, though
there is but one essential God; and that, otherways, the propositions,
of which we arespeaking, would imply all the aforesaid contradictions.
This remedy, I say, is worse than the disease; for, 1. Three personal
Gods, and one essential God, make four Gods, if the essential God be
not the same with the personal Gods; and, though heis the same with
them, yet, since they are not the same with one another, but distinct,
it follows, that there are three. Gods, that is, three personal Gods. 2. It
introduces two sorts of true Gods, three personal, and one essential.
But the Christian religion knows and owns but one true and most high

God, of any sort, And I would know of the Trinitarians, whether

they dare say, in express words, there are two sorts of true Gods?

* For like as we are compelled by the Christian verity, to acknowledge
every person by himself to be Lord and God, &c.’.

By the Christian verity, I suppose is meant, the sacred books which
contain the Christian religion; that is, the books of the Old and New
Testaments, But do these books, and does this verity compel us to the
acknowledgment of tbree persons, cach of which is, by himself, supreme
God and Lord, and yct, all of them together, but one God? Doth, I
say, the Holy Scripture compel us to this contradictory acknowledg-
ment? [s there any text acknowledged from scripture, which all the
Unitarians, and some or other of the most learned 'Trinitarians, do not
casily interpret in such sense, that the unity of God is preserved; and
no more than one person, even the God and: Father of our Lord Jesus
Christ, acknowledged to be God? See the History of the Unitarians.
But, if there is no text of scripture, but what is, in the opinion of some
or other of their own learned men, fairly capable ef a sense contrary to
the faith delivered in this creed, then we are not compelled to acknow-_

t

^C $T. ATHANASIUS. 135

ledge this faith. And thetrruth is, the contest between the Unitarians and
Trinitarians is not,as is commonly thought,a clash of reason with scripture :
But it lieth here, whether,when the Holy Scriptures may be understood as
teaching only one God, or but one who is God, which agrees with the rest of
scripture,and with natural reason;\we must,notwithstanding,prefer an inter-
pretation of it that 1s absurd, and contrary to itself, toreason, and to the
rest of scripture, such as the Trinitariain nterpretation, expressed in this
creed, appears to be. In a word, the question only is, whether we
ought to interpret Holy Scripture, when it speaks of God, according to
reason, or not; that is, like fools, or like wise men?

‘The Son is of the Father alone, not made, nor created, but be-
gotten.”

Here, and in the next period, Athanasius is got into his altitudes, or
profundities, which you will. Here it is, that the ignorant think they
are taught the inmost secrets of theological knowledge; but high and
dow are not more contrary, than the things which are here affirmed as
equal truths.

If the creed-maker had spoke here of the generation of the Son by the
divine power on the Virgin Mary, it would have been true, that * the
Son is neither made, nor created, but begotten;' but then the first part of
the article would be false, * that the son is of the Father alone;'for he,
that has a father and a mother, is of both. But, since he speaks of the

(pretended) eternal generation, the latter part of the article is false, and
. inconsistent with the first part of it, Every novice in grammar or pro-

per speaking knows, that begotten, when it is distinguished from made
and created, always supposes two parents, a mother, as well as a father:
It is therefore a contradiction to say, * the Son is of the Father alone,
not made, nor created, but begotten ;’ for, if he is begotten, he cannot be
of the Father alone; and, if he is of the l'ather alone, heis not begotten,
but either made, or created. $

The Holy Ghost is of the Father, and of the Son, neither made, nor
created, nor begotten, but proceeding,’

The first fault here is, that the Holy Spirit is said to proceed from
the Father, and from the Son. To which heresy the Greek church
have ever opposed those clear words, John xv. 26. * When the Comfort-
er is come, whom I will send unto you from the Father, even the spirit
of truth, which proceedeth from the Father, he shall testify of me.’

Secondly, He saith here, that the Holy Ghost is not begotten, but
proceeding; he adds, shortly after, that * he, who will be saved, must
thus think of the Trinity.' Therefore, surely begotten and proceeding
differ very much, and very clearly; else it is an harsh sentence, that we
shall be damned, if we do not conceive, besides all other inconceivable
mysteries of this creed, that the Holy Ghost is not begotten, but proceeds.
Yet, after all, it is now confessed by the most learned Trinitarians, that
begotten and proceeding differ nothing at all; and that it is rightly said,
*theSon proceeds from the Father, and that the Holy Ghost is generated of
both,’ directly contrary to this creed. It follows, that Athanasius has
damned the whole world, for not distinguishing, whereno distinction can

be made, at least with any certainty. And, perhaps, this damning hu-

136 BRIEF NOTES ON THE CREED OF

mour of his has justly provoked some to write, not S. Athanasius, but
drawing the S a little nearer, Sathanasius.

* So there is one Father, not three Fathers; one Son, not three Sons;
one Holy Ghost, not three Holy Ghosts,’

In consistence with what goes before, he should have said, two Fa-
thers, two Sons, and three Holy Ghosts, or Spirits. For the second
Person is the Son of the;first, and the third proceeds (which is nothing
clse but is generated) from the first and second; which makes two Fa-
thers, and two Sons; and all three of them are Holy Spirits; for the
Father is an Holy Spirit, and so is the Son, no less than the third per-
son. But this is not the first time, in this creed that Athanasius has
discovered be could not count.

* [n this Trinity, none is afore, or after other; none is greater, or less
than another.’

Yet the Son himself saith, John xiv. 28. * My Father is greater than
I? And, for the other clause, * None is afore, or after other,’ it is just
as true, as that there is no difference between afore and after? I ask,
Whether the Son doth not, as he is a Son, derive both life and godhead
from the Father? All Trinitarians agree, he does; grounding themselves
on the Nicene creed, which expresly calls the Son, ‘God of God,
Light of Light, very God of very God, begotten, not made? But; if the
Father gave the Son life and godhead, he must have both, before he could
communicate or give cither of them to the Son, and consequently was
before the Son was, No effect is so early as its cause; for, if it were, it
should not have needed, or had that for its cause. No proposition in
Euclid is more certain or evident than this.

* The right faith is, that we believe and confess, that our Lord Jesus
Christ, the Son of God, is both God and Man,’

Then the Lord Christ is two persons; for, ashe is God, he is the se-
cond person of the (pretended) Trinity; and, as he is man (a perfect
man, as this creed afterwards speaks) he is also a person; for a rational
soul, vitally united to an human body, is a person, if there beany
such thing as a person upon earth: nay, it is the only thing upon earth,
that is a person, Let the Athanasians, therefore, either say, that the
Lord Christ is two persons ; which is the heresy of Nestorius, condemned
in a general council; or, that he is not a man, contrary to 1 Tim. ii. 5.
* 'There is one God, and one mediator between God and man, the man
Jesus Christ; or, that he is not God, which is the truth.

* Who, although he be God and man, yet he is not two, but one
Christ; one, not by conversion of the godhead into flesh, but by taking
of the manhood into God; one, not by confusion of substance, but by
unity of person?

But, because these words, ‘ One, by taking of the manhood into God,
not by conversion of the godhead into flesh;’ and again, * One, noc by
confusion of substance, but by unity of person, cannot readily be un-
derstood by themselves, therefore the creed-maker explains them, in this
following article: ‘ For, as the reasonable. soul and flesh is one man, so
God and man is one Christ? That is, as a soul, united vitally toa
body, maketh one person, called man, without confounding the two sub-
stances ofsoul and hody; for the soul remains what it was, and so also
does ihe body; so God the Son, being united to a reasonable soul and

body, doth, together with them, make one person, called Christ, without
confounding the substances of the divinity, or humanity ; for the divi-
nity remains, without the least change, what it was, and so doth the hu-
manity, or reeasonable soul and body. This is the only offer at sense,
that is to be found in this whole creed; but so far from explicating, that
it farther perplexes the difficulty of the (pretended) incarnation; as will
appear by these two considerations:

1. In the personal union of a soul with a body, the union is between
two finite things; but, in the (pretended) personal union of God to man,
and man to God, the br is between finite and infinite; which, on the
principles of the Trinitarians, is impossible. For we must either sup-
pose, that finite and infinite are commensurate, that is, equal; which
every one knows is false ; or that the finite is united but to some part of
the infinite, and is disjoined from the rest ; which all Trinitarians deny
and abhor.

You will say, if they admit neither of these, how do they shew the
possibility of the incarnation, or union of God aid man? “They tell you,
God indeed is infinite, and every reasonable soul and body, even that of

* Christ, is finite; yet the whole God and whole man are united; be-
cause, as the whole eternity of God:dotli co-exist to a moment of time,
so the wholei immensity of God isin every mathematical point of space.
The very truth is, they cannot otherwise defend the incarnation, of
personal nnion ofan infinite God to a finite man ; but, withal, it must be
owned, that then the doctiines of the Trinity and incarnation do infer,
imply, and suppose all the contradictions, that Mr.Johnson has object-
cd to the doctrine of transubstantiation, in that little golden tract so de-
servedly esteemed by all.: His whole book and all his demonstrations
are founded on these two suppositions: "That a longer time doth not
all of it co-exist to a shorter; nor isa greater extension constipated or
contained in a less; much less in a mathematical point. Therefore all
his book, and all that he hath so well said and argued, in the preface,’
concerning theauthority and judicature of reason in matters of religion,
equally and effectually destroys the doctrines of the Trinity and transub-
stantiation, | If the reader would have an excellent book, let him pro-
cure that. Butoh! were the press as free for the Unitarians, as it is for
other Protestants, how easily would they make it appear, that the follies
and contradictions, so justly charged on the transubstantiation, are nei-
ther, for number, consequence, nor clearness, any way comparable to
those implied in the Athanasian creed! And that the Trinity hath the
same, and no other foundation with the transubstantiation! So that we
must of necessity admit both, or neither, If the Church is to interpret
Scripture for us, we must admit both; but, if reason, we can admit
neither ; and this, I think, the "rinitarians vill not deny.

But, secondly, i in the pretended incarnation or union of God with
man, the union cannot be personal, as it is between the soul. and body ;
i cannot, I mean, be such an union, as to make but one person. The
' union of the soul and body may be properly personal,that is, may con-
stitute or make one person, because it is not the union of two persons,
butonly of one person, the soul, to a thing otherwise without life, rea-
son, memory, or free-will, The body is but, as it were, the garment of

VOL: XII, 5 K

138 BRIEF NOTES, &c.

the soul, and is wholly acted by it, and depending on it. But, in the
(pretended) union of God with a man, there are two distinct and. very
different lives, memories, reasons, and free-wills; which utterly destroys
à personal union; for that supposes but one life, one reason, one me-
mory, one free-will. For, if these things, which constitute a person,
are found more than ence, there js no longer one person, but two,
and consequently no personal union, in the sense of which we are
speaking.

* This is the Catholick faith; which except a man believe faithfully,
he cannot be saved.’ ri ndi dbodditnm ba

Dy believing, Athanasius doth not mean bare believing, but he in-
cludeth therein profession; for he saith a little before: ‘The right faith
is, that we believe and confess, &c.’ So that. a man cannot be saved,
unless he believes and professes, as this creed directs him.

lirst, For believing, What if a man cannot believe it? Are
we obliged, under the penalty of the loss of salvation, to. believe
it, whether we «can, or no?) Doth God require of any man an 1m-
possible condition, in order to salvation ? Lathorbat be c

Secondly, As to professing, under pain of damnation, “What if) it
be against a man's conscience 1o profess it? The senpturesaith, * What-

soever is not of faith, is sin; if therefore a man profess against his con- -

science, he sins; and if, notwithstanding this, a man must either pros
fess, or be damned, then God requires some men to sin in order to their
salvation. But this we are sure is false, and therefore that the menace
in the article.is vain. i

And now L appeal to all men, that have any. freedom of judgment
remaining: Whether this creed js fit to be retained in any Christian,
much less protestant and reformed church? Since it subverts the
foundations, not only of Christianity, but of all religion, that is to say,
reason and revelation: there being no principle in reason and in scripture
more evident, than that ‘God is one; or, that there is one Almighty,
only wise and good person, or. father of all. If we cannot be sure of
this, then religion and Christianity are built upon fancy only, and have
no solid foundation.
_ This creed may. be professed by the Roman political church, because
it gives countenance to their absurd transubstantiation, and cunning
traditions added to scripture; as those doctrines do to the gaining of
veneration, and consequently dominion and riches) to their clergy:
But, ina reformed church, where the scripture is held to be a com-
pleat rule of faith and manners, and also to be clear and plain in all
things neeessary to salvation, even to the meanest understanding, that
reads itor hears it with-sobriety and attention; such a confession of faith:
is, E think, intolerable, as being utterly inconsistent with those princi-_
ples, and reducing us back to the Roman bondage. ;

Besides, nothing has been or is more scandalous te Jews and Ma-
hometans, than this creed, the chief article of whose religion 1s, that
there is ‘one only God. ‘The evidence of which principle is such in
nature as well as scripture, that it has propagated Mahometism among
greater numbers, than at this day own Christianity; for ‘the sake of

that one truth, so many nations have swallowed all the errors. and follies
of the Alchoran, or that of Mahomet; as, on the other hand, Chris-
tianity has been rejected and detested among them, on the account of .
the Christians ‘ three persons, who are severally and each of them
Gods

But the mischiefs of this creed do not stay here. Iti is levelled not
only against the true faith, but is also destructive of that love and
charity, which is the spirit and life of Christianity; and, without which,
faith is but a lifeless body. For, as if it would effectually i inspire all
its believers, with a spirit of judging, damning, and uncharitableness;
it pronounces the sentence of eternal damnation, in the beginning,
„middle, and conclusion, upon all that do not both believe and profess
this faith, and keep it whole and undefiled; that is, upon the whole
Greek. church, and other churches in the East; and upon at least five
parts of six of all that profess Christianity in the world, whose under-
standings cannot possibly reach to the sense and coherence, which some
pretend to find in this creed. L

Thus the Christian religion is destroyed, in both the essential parts
of it, faith and love. Hence have proceeded many and endless contro-
versies, bitter animosities, cruel peisecutions, wars among Christians;
and, at length, ehe more fierce and violent, the more deceitful and
sophistical part, have attained their tyrannical domination over their
opposers; and have introduced and settled, a Christianity shall I call
it, or, a superstition, or a polity, quite contrary to the doctrine and
practice of our Blessed Lord, aud of his apostles.

140 THE PARLEMENT OF BYRDES.

The Grype. The great grype was the fyrst that spake,
And sayd: Owne is owne, who can it take?

For thyne and myne make much debate,
With great and small, in euery estate.
The Cuckowe. I synge, sayde the cuckowe, euer one
songe:
That the wcake taketh euer the wronge;
For he, that hathe wyth vs moost myght,
Taketh his wyll, as reason is, ryght.
The Fawcon, "Then aunswered the fawcon to thatsaw:
"That pleaseth a prynce is iust and lawe;
And he that can no songe but one,
Whan he hathe songe, his wytte is gone.
The Commyus. ‘Than all the byrdes, that coude speake,
Sayde: the hauke doth vs great wreake ;
Of them so many diuers there be,
That no foule, ne byrde, may fro them flye,
The Hauke, The bauke aunswered the prating pye:
Where is many wordes, the trouthe gocth by;
And better it were to seace of language sone,
‘Than speake, and repent whan thou hast done.
The Sterlynge. Then sayde the sterlynge verement:
Who sayth soth shalbe shent ;
No man niay now speake of trouthe,
But his head be broke; and that is routhe.
The Hauke. The hauke swore, by his head of gray,
All sothes be not for to say;
It is better some be left by reason,
Than trouthe to be spoken out of season.
The Popyn Taye. ‘Then spake the popyn iaye of Paradise :
Who sayth lytell, he is wyse:
For lytell money is soone spende,
And fewe wordes are soone amende.
The Hauke. The hauke bad, for dreade of payne,
Speake not to muche of thy souerayne;
For, who that will ferge tales newe,
Whan he weneth leest, this tale may he rewe.
The Commyns. Then desyred great and small
To mewe the hauke for good and all:
A place alone we would he had,
For his counsell to vs was neuer glad.
The Hauke. The hauke aunswered: Ye fayle, ye fayle all
witte, 3
Jt is no tyme to mewe haukes yet ;
Commyns of haukes can but Jytell skyll,
They shall not rule them as they wyll.
The Nyghtyngale. Anone than synge the nyghtyngale,
With notes many, great and smale :
‘That byrde, that can well speake and synge,
Shall be cheryshed with Quene and Kyng.

THE PARLEMENT OF BYRDES. 141

The Hauke. The haukeaunswered, with great furye:
The songe is nought, that is not mery ;
And who so no better synge can,
Maketh lytell chere to any man.

The Douue. Than rombled the douuc for her lot:
Folke may be mery, and synge not;
And who so hath no good voyce,
Must make mery with lytell noyse,

The Hauke. Whant his reason was forth shewed,
Lerne, quoth the hauke, orye be lewed ;
For the byrde, that can not speake, -ne synge,
Shall to the kechyne to serue the Kynge.

The Fesaunt. 'Than crowed the fesaunt in the wood:
Domme med, he sayde, getteth lytell good;
Wodde, nor water, nor other foode;
Jt Seteth from hym, as doeth the flodde.

The Hauke. 'Thehaukesayde: Whan all is sought,
Great crowers were neuer ought;
For, I swere by my foly,
Ie is not moste wyse, that is moste ioly.

The Moore Cocke. Than crowed agayne the moore cocke:
The hauke bringeth much thing out of nocke;
The osyll whysteleth, and byrdes blacke;
He must haue a do, that a do doth make,

The Hauke. I must, sayde the hauke, by all my belles,
Say for my selfe, for none will elles:
Ile is not greatly to repreue,
That speaketh with hissoucraynes leue,

The Byttur. Than blusshed the byttur in the fenne,
The cote, the dobchicke, and the water henne:
The hauke that doeth vs all this dere,
We woulde he were soused in the myre.

The Hauke. 'lhehauke sayde: Wysshers want wyll,
Whether they speake loude, or styll;
Whan all this done was sayde and lafte,
Euery man must lyue by his crafte.

The Malarde. Than creked the malarde and the gose:
They may best flye that are lose;
He is well that is at large,
That nedeth not the Kynges great charge. !

The Hauke. The haukesayde: though they fle lose,
They must obeye, they may not chose;
Who hath a maister, or a make,
He is tyed by the stake.

The Heronne. "Than creked the heronne and the crane:
Great trouble make wittes lame;
He is well aduysed, that can bere hym lowe,
And suffer euery wynde to ouerblowe.

The Hauke. The haukesayde: Who can blowe to please?
Longe neckes done great ease;

Sayde: Her may not auayle but spere and shelde;
The hauke with vs maketh great batayle,
In euery countrey, where he may auayle.
The Hauke. Thehaukesayde; Who so wylfully wyll fyght,
May make hym wronge sone of his ryght ;
Lawe is best, I vnderstande,
To ryght all in euery lande.
The Robyn and the Wrenne. Than chydde the my and the
wrenne,
And all small byrdes that beare penne :
Against the hauke the commyns must aryse, -
And helpe them selfe in theyr best wyse.
The Hauke. The hauke made the wreune his answer,
Small power may lytle dere,
And who wyll lyue in rest longe,
Maye nat be besy with his tonge.
Lhe Commyns. Than prayed all the commyn house,
That some myght the hauke souce,
For foule ne byrde, by water ne lande,
He wyll leaue a lyue, and he myght stande ;
In his nest, may none abyde
Tn countre where he doth glyde;
Theyr fethers he plucketh many a folde,
And leaueth them naked in full great colde;
We think, therfore, by reason good,
To destroy the hauke, and all his bloode.
The Kynge and his Lordes. The Kynge and his lordes
answered, anone
States may not the hauke forgone,
Nor by no law his kynde destroye,
Nor deme him selfe for to dye,
Nor put him to nene other distresse,
But kepe him in a payre of iesse,
That he fle nat to no byrde about,
But his keper let hym oute.
The Cornysske-daw. Then said the cornisshe-daw,
Lytle money, lytle Jawe,
For here is nought els with frende ne fo,
But go bet peny, go bet, go.
The Hauke. Thoucornisshe, quod the hauke, by thy wyll,
Say well, or holde the styll ;
Thou Hast harde of many a man,
A tonge breaketh bone, and it selfe hath none.

For good counsell refourmeth eucry nisse,

The Hauke. The hauke sayde, It is nat lesse,
Councell is good in warre and pese;
But the crowe hath no brayne
For to gyue counsell, but of the rayne.
The Nightwhale. Then sayd the nightwhale, with his heed
aye,
He mae ee vs with his parlyament aray ;
It isa tearme with Iohn and lacke,

Who no good hath, no good canne,

The Haute. Thehauke sayd, He is worse than wood,
That maketh hyr fresshe with other mennes good,
Or ought wyll borowe and neuer paye,
Or with wrong getteth gallaunt araye.
The Specke. Then in his hole, sayd the specke,
I would the hauke brake his necke,
Or brought vnto some myscheuous dale,
For of euery byrde he telleth a tale.
The Hauke. The hauke sayd, though thy castell be in

Buylde not aboue thy degree;
For who so heweth ouer bye,
The chippes wyll fall in his eye.
The Kynge. Then sayd the Kynge, It is our entent,
To amande the crowes rayment ;
And all the byrdes sayde, anone

The Commyns. Than asked the byrdes, by aduysement,
Who is that taketh to vs no tent,

The Hauke. The hauke answered to the white semewe,
It is the sory blacke crowe,
And for him fareth no man the better,
Let him crowe therfore neuer the greater.
The Lordes. Then sayde the Lordes euerychone,
We wyll aske of the Kynge abone,

And make the crowe agaynea knaue,
For he, that nought hath, nought shall haue.

And asked of the Lordes wyth one voyce,

That they would the hauke exyle

The Art of Acting. In Imitation of Horace’s Art of Poetry.

Ex Noto Fictum Carmen, Hor.

|

TO THE READER,

Although I have ventured to call this poem, ‘The Art of Acting’ in Imi-

[3

tation of Horace's * Art of Poetry,’ yet I must observe, that I have
rather made a paraphrase on his rules and thoughts, than kept to a
strict literal imitation of them. I am sensible therefore, I shall be
highly censured by those who are acquainted with those happy imi-
tations of this part of Horace, Dr. King's * Art of Cookery,’ and Mr.
B n’s ‘ Art of Politicks All I can say to such an objection, is,
that a more close confinementto the text would not suit my subject,
which I found was not foreign enough from the original to make it
by such a method any way entertaining; yet I have endeavoured to
keep as strong an analogy to the sense and manner of Horace as I
could possibly. Perhaps, this intention of imitating the method of
Horace has led me into a conduct, which may be imputed to me as
an unpardonable error, and that negligence in the numbers, which

AN ESSAY ON THE THEATRES, &c. 147

will often appear, may not be forgiven on my pleading, that in the ver-
sification I have been often negligent by design. How far I am wrong
in my judgment in this respect, I willingly submit to those who are ac-
quainted with the original.

HOULD Hogarth, with extravagant conceit,
Make a strange group of contrast figures meet, -
Beneath a plume that nods with tragic grace
Limn the quaint drollery of H—psl—y’s face ;
Then to that face add Chloe’s neck and breast,
Beauteous as thought e’er form'd, or tongue exprest ;
Amass the properties of motley scenes,
Of gods, of kings, of devils, and of queens,
Strike out a form that Nature cannot brag on,
With crest of Cesar and with tail of dragon,
Part male,—part female,—devil part,— part God,
Who could restrain a smile at sight so odd ?
But, odd as such a figure might appear,
It is the just resemblance of a play’r,
Who rashly will depart from Nature’s rule,
And rather wonder raise, than touch the soul ;
Whose storms and incoherent actions seem,
Like the wild prattlings of asick man’s dream,
Which, while the fev'rish phrenzy may prevail,
Flow unconnected, without head or tail.
Actors and poets have an equal right,
By bold attempts, our pleasure to excite;
New talents still in pointed wit to show,
And make the stream of humour stronger flow ;
Or in the tender, or the lofty scene,
Form a new harmony of words and mein;
Leave dull theatric precedents of art,
And with peculiar judgment catch the heart.
Bold are these liberties that actors claim,
And great their freedom in pursuit of fame:
Yet a just licence cannot give pretence,
To break the steady rules of common sense ;
To strain the voice and storm with frantic air,
When * Oedipus appeals in moving pray’r;
Nor yet a slow soft whining tone assume,
When T peals of thunder shake the conscious room.
Some, when grave scenes should rise with awful state,
And all the heroe be divinely great,
Studious in vain, exert an idle care,
To please the eye, or gently sooth the ear:
In senate or in camp, in joy, or woe,

* Tn allusion to these lines in Mr. Dryden’s play of Qedipus:
To you, ye gods, I make my last appeal, &c.

+ Clasp'd in the folds of love: I'll wait my. doom,
And act my joys, thous thunder shakes the room.

The plume must wave, the voice must sweetly flow :
High character by length of train be shown,
And dignity by drawling out the tone.
Justly the plume may grace an actor's mein,
And the imperial robe adorn the scene;
Justly the numbers, flowing o'er the tongue,
May warble sweet as Philomela's song,
While vales, and dales, and murm'ring streams, which rove,
Gently meeandring through the flow'ry grove,
The subject are :— But, if ill-judg'd the choice
Of pompous dress, and modulated voice,
The * shape though rich, the voice though soft and clear,

And through the landschape blooms eternal spring :

And join it to the horrors of a storm:
Where quick fork’d lightnings gleam, loud thunders roar,
And foaming billows lash the sounding shoar :
Where driv’n by eddies with impetuous shock,

The hopeless sailor rearing high his hand,
And corpse on corpse come rolling on the strand ;
In storm and landschape we might beauties find,
But wonder how they came together join’d.

And ev'ry gesture, look, and word controul :

And drowsy lull insensibly to sleep:

While these, to prove that they no spirits want,
Out-bawl Drawcansir in the tragic rant.
Some few, who fear what critics may explode,
With plodding pace jog on the beaten road:
Content in acting just with common sense, `
Ne'er dare to deviate into excellence:

Who never charm, yet never much offend,
Who with the merit they began will end.

But yet a brisker genius of the stage

Will try all arts, all methods, to engage :
Buffoonly dress, affect a monstrous tone,
Strike out the poct's wit, insert his own:

As sailor, or as clown, as beau, or play’r,

No matter what, or how, or when, or where,
Will scenes, will times, will characters confound,
'To hear of false applause the vulgar sound:

Thus more they err who would their errors hide,
If they want solid judgment for their guide:
Near Covent-Garden does a painter live,

Whose pencil can most wond'rous likeness give
To the soft ringlets of the flowing hair,
, Be they or red, or brown, or black, or fair:
Nor in this only does his art prevail,

He hits the finger, and the finger's nail:

Yet of the dolt how wretched is the case ?
Who cannot give to half the picture mes
Nor touch a single feature of the face.
Rather than act as such a man would paint,
Some trifling parts by meer luck represent ;
But when a strength of genius should appear;
Still bound to grovel in my narrow sphere,

I would no more be such than noted be,

Alike for beauty, and deformity :

Than have Lothario's manly form and grace,
Topp'd with the shocking sneer of Clody's face.
All you who feel a gen'rous thirst of fame,
And from the stage a just applause would claim,
From the first moment you commence a play'r,

And strut at Smithfield or at Southwark fair,
Long as you shall a better fortune wait,

And strolling know variety of fate;

Just as the gods direct the chance of things,
Are this day coblers, and to-morrow kings;
Your genius try’d, consult the head and heart,
Dare not at flights; be equal to your part;
Damn'd you may be attempting Wildair’s ease,

With hearty laughter shakes our q uav’ring side.
Some, not content their excellence to show,

Strive to reveal their imperfections too.

Confin'd to proper walks wou'd actors be,

All wou'd appear with mere propriety.

Yet I allow that, in the comic scene,

Some who excel, excel in tragic strain :

And some, who justly reach the tragie style,

In comic scenes as justly make us smile:

He who, in'* Rule a Wife,’ can hit the part

Of ideot folly, must then rouze the heart,

Lose in becoming dignity the-fool,

And prove with tragic grandeur he will rule.

Nor do th’ Othello' of the stage disdain,

In hum'rous guise, to touch the comic vein,

To change the heroe for the fat old. knight, ,

And with Jack Falstaff's drollery delight.
lame gives this rule, if we to fame may trust,

Tragedians only act a Falstaff just:

In this, indeed, long famous have they been,

For Detterton was matchless, now is Quin.
"Tis not sufficient to repeat a part

With proper accent; it must reach the heart :

The actor to the audience must reveal,

He has the will, and faculty to feel :

Mov'd in himself, all others he controuls,

Commanis their thoughts, and agitates their souls.
When Cato gives his little senate laws,

What bosom pants not in his gen'rous cause?

But shou’d, while we the character revere,

See the great patriot sink into the play’r;

Sce him look round box, gallery, and pit,

Nor the least seeming thought of Rome admit;

Who wou’d not laugh to think that this survey

Was to mark out some friend, as, who shou'd say,

€ Pox o’ this stufi—Let Rome be lost or won,

* Well drink our bottle when the play is done.’
All actors are toseem what they are not;

Which to perform, themselves must be forgot :

Their mind must lost in character be shown,

Nor once betray a passion of their own;

Must to the business of the stage attend,

Aud heighth of action with their silence blend:

Or in the front, aside, or back retir'd,

Something to do, or seem, is still requir'd :

-Gaze not around on them; they do not pay
To see you turn spectators, but to play.

If you are curious, there are other means,
From the loop'd curtaiu, or behind the scenes.

When in old parts you venture to pursue

A manner of your own, to make them new,

Sull to the character be strictly true.

To act Macheath more merit must you bring,
Than thrill a ballad, and with quaver sing;

A manly gesture and a sprightly air

Must with a proper dignity appear;

The gay mock heroe must our passions move,

By joy, by courage, in distress, and love.

Some parts 'tis danger to attempt at all,

When late we've scen a great original;

We by the first impression are so wrought,

All copies, though well copy'd, have much fault :
Nor is this partial prejudice alone;

Most it delighted, reign’d not full a year,

He reigned forty years, as others tell ;

Which seems, as tis a tale, more true by far:
By justice guided he his subjects well,

And liv'd in peace, without the broils of war:
His children's noble acts in stories are,
In vulgar tongue; but nought is said of me,
And yet I worthy was, the young'st of three.

His eldest son and heir was after King ;

A noble prince, and he was named Lud;
Full politick and wise in every thing,

And one that will’d his country always good:

Such uses, customs, statutes he withstood,
As seem'd to bring the publick weal's decay,
And them abolish'd, broke, repeal'd away.

"There made he prisons for the poor bankrout,
Nam'd Ludgate, yet the freemen debtors, free
From hurt, till with their creditors they gree.

Some say, the city also took the name
Of Lud my brother, for he it repair'd ;

And I must needs, as true, confess the same.
For why? That time no cost on it he spar'd,

Chose, for that time, Cassibellane their King,

No sooner were these Cæsar’s letters seen,

But straight the King for all his nobles sent:

He shewed them what their ancestors had been,
And pray’d them tell, in this, their whole intent.
He told them whereabout the Romans went,

And what subjection was, how servile they

Should be, if Cæsar bore their pomp away.

And all the Britons, even as set on fire,
(Myself not least inflamed was to fight)
Did humbly him in joyful wise require,
That he his letters would to Cæsar write,
And tell him plain, he pass'd not of his spite.
We pass'd at little, of the Romans we,
And less than they of us, if less might be.

Wherefore, the joyful King again reply'd,
Through counsel wise of al] the nobles had.
By letters he the Romans hosts defy'd :
Which made the Britons haughty hearts full glad.
No doubt, the Romans more than balf were mad,
To hear his letters written, thus they went,
Which he again to mighty Cesar sent:

Again, though Gods have giv’n thee all the world as thine ;

That’s parted from the world, thou get'st no land of mine.
And since likewise of Gods we came, a nation free,
We owe no tribute, aid, or pledge, to Rome or thee,

` Retract thy will, or wage thy war, as likes thee best,
We are to fight, and rather, than to friendship press'd ;
To save our country from the force of foreign strife,
Fach Briton here is well content to venture life.
We fear not of the end, or dangers thou dost tell ;
But use thy pleasure, if thou may'st; thus farethou well.

CASSIBELLANE,

When Cesar had receiv’d his answer so,
It vex'd him much; he fully straight decreed
To wage us war, and work us, Britons, woe:
Therefore he hasted hitherward with speed ;
We Britons here prepar'd ourselves, with heed,
To meet the Romans, all in warlike wise,.
With all the force and speed we might devise.

We Britous then far deem'd it mecter much,
To meet him first at th' entry on this land,

Than for to give an entry here to such,
Might, with our victuals, here ourselves withstand,
"Tis better for thy enemy to aband,

Quite from thy borders, to a stranger soil,

Than he, at home, thee and thy country spoil.

Wherefore we met him, at his entry in,
And pitch'd our camps directly in his way:

We minded sure to lose, or else to win
The praise, before we pass'd from thence away.
So when that both the armies were in ray,

And trumpet's blast on every side was blown,

Our minds to either each'were quickly known.

We joined battle, fiercely both we fought;
The Romans to enlarge their empire's fame,
And we, with all the force and might we mought,
- To save our country, and to keep our name.
(O worthy Britons, learn to do the same)
We broke the rays ofall the Roman host,
. And made the mighty Cæsar leave his boast.

‘Yet he, the worthiest captain ever was,
Brought all in ray, and fought again a-new ;
His skilful soldiers he could bring to pass
Atonce, for why his trainings all they knew.

162

NENNIUS, A WORTHY BRITON, &e. -

No sooner I his noble corps did yiew,
Butin I broke amongst the captain’s band,
And there I fought with Cæsar hand to hand.

O God, thou might'st have given a Briton grace,
T’ have slain the Roman Cæsar noble then;

Which sought his blood the Britons to deface, |
And bring, 1n bondage, valiant worthy men:
He never should have gone to Rome again,

To fight with Pompey, or his peers to slay,

Or else to bring his country in decay.

It joy'd my heart to strike on Caesar's crest,

O Cesar, that there had been none but we;
I often made my sword to try thy breast,

But Lady Fortune did not look on me.

I able was, methought, with Cæsars three
To try the case: I made thy heart to quake,
When on thy crest with mighty strokes I strake.

The strokes, thou struck'st me, hurt me not at all,
For why, thy strength was nothing in respect;

But thou hadst bath'd thy sword in poison all,
Which did my wound not deadly else infect,

Yet was I, or I parted tbence bewreck'd,

I got thy sword from thee, for all thy fame,

Aud made thee fly, for fear to eat thesame.

For, whenthy sword was in my target fast,

I made thee fiy, and quickly leave thy hold ;
‘Thou never wast, in all thy life, so gast,

Nor durst again be ever half so bold.

I made a number of Roman hearts full cold.
Fight, fight, you noble Britons, now, quoth I,
We never all will unrevenged die.

What, Casar, though thy praise and mine be odd?
Perhaps the stories scarce remember me:
Though poets all of thee do make a Gud,
Such simple fools in making Gods they be.
Yet, if I might my case have try’d with thee,
Thou never hadst return'd to Rome again,
Nor, of thy faithful friends, been beastly slain.

A number Britons, might’st thou there have seen,
Death-wounded fight, and spoil their spiteful foes :

Myself, maim'd, slew and mangled more I ween,
When I was hurt, than twenty more of those.
I made the Roman hearts to take their hose:

NENNIUS, A WORTHY BRITON, &c.

Inall the camp no Roman scarce I spy’d,
Durst half a combate ’gainst a Driton 'bide.

Atlength`I met a nobleman, they call'd
Him Labienus, one of Cesar’s friends,
A tribune erst, had many Britons thrall'd:
Was one of Cæsars legates, forth he sends.
Well met (quoth 1) I mind to make thee mends,
For all thy friendship to our country crew:
And so with Czsar's sword his friend I slew:

What need I name you every Briton here,
As first the King, the nobles all beside,
Full stout and worthy wights, in war that were,
Asever erst the stately Romans try'd ;
. We fought so long they durst no longer "bide.
Proud Cæsar he, for all his brags and boast,
Flew back-to ships, with half his scatter'd host.

If he had been a God, as Sots him nam'd,
He could not of us Britons taken foil;

The monarch Cæsar might have been asham'd,
From such an island, with his ships recoil,
Or else to fly, and leave behind the spoil :

But life issweet, he thought it better fly,

‘Than hide amongst us Britons, for to die.

I had his sword, was named Croceamors,

With which he gave mein the head a stroke,
'The' venom of the which had such a force,

It able was to pierce the heart of oak;

No med'cines might the poison out revoke:
Wherefore, though scarce he pierced had the skin,

In fifteen days my brains it rankled in.

And then too soon (alas! therefore) I dy'd ;
I would to God he had return'd again,
So that I might but once the dastard spy'd :
Before he went, I had the serpent slain.
He play'd the coward cut-throat all too plain:
A beastly serpent's heart that beast detects,
Which, e're he fight, his sword with bane infects.

Well then, my death brought Cæsar no renown,
For both 1 got, thereby, eternal fame,
And eke his sword, to strike his friends adown ;
I slew ek META his Labiene by name:
With prince against my country's foes I came,
Was wounded, yet did never faint, nor yield,
Till Cesar with his soldiers fled the field.

Who would not venture life in such a case?
Who would not fight at countries whole request ?
Who would not, meeting Czsar in the place,
Fight for life, prince, and country with the best ?
The greatest courage is by facts express’d :
Then for thy prince with fortitude, as I,
And realm's behoof, is praise to live or die.

Now write my life, when thou hastleisure, and
Will all thy countrymen to learn by me,

Both for their prince, and for their native land,
As valiant, bold, and fearless for to be.
A pattern plain of fortitude they see:

To which directly if themselves they frame,

They shall preserve their country, faith, and fame,

Wee time Fame began to feather her selfe to flie, and was winged

with the lasting memorie of martiall men, the oratours .ceast
perswasive orations, the poets neglected the pleasures of their poems,
and Pallas her self would haue nothing painted vpon her shield but
mottoesof Mars, and short emblemes in Homous of noble atchiuements.
Then the ashes of auncient victors, without scruple or disdaine, had
sepulture in rich and golden monuments; and they, that reacht the
height of honour by worthie deedes, had their former basenesse shadowed
by deserts. Fame, then fearing that her honour would faint, and her
armour rust (for, though she fauoured all professions, yet she chiefly
dignified armes) on a sodaine, mounted into the ayre, and neuer stayed
the swiftnesse of her flying course, vntill she pitched her feete upon
Parnassus forked toppe, whose springing lawrels gaue shade and shelter
to ber wearinesse, ‘This was the fruitfull place where she plotted her
flowrie garlands, to. crown the temples of vertuous followers, and
wreathes of renowne to illustrate vndaunted courages. Here, likewise,

remained her chiefe. secretaries, the ix. Muses, as in a seate of most pica-
sure best befitting their diuine perfections, whose necessarie aydes she
alwayes craued, when occasion ministred any thing worthy record ;
and, though the wholesome freshnesse of the ayre, the greeneness of the
villis) the comfortable odours of sundry sorts of flow aie, the pride and
bewtie of the’ trees, the harmonious layes of nightinzales and other
birds, the variable delights of artificiall bowers, and the musicall mur-
mures of christall running fountains, might wel have inchaunted the
roughest cynick, or crabbest malecontent, to cheare vp his spirits, and
banish melancholy passions; yet this goddesse, pretending businesse of
importance, had such a care to effect it, as that she would not be ouer-
come with pleasure, nor yeeld to ease (though, in reason, her laborious
trauell did require rest) but painfully passing vp and downe, was not
moued with the one. nor maistred with the other. At last, as her busie
eye pried euery way, she espied a path of violets, whose tops were
pressed downe with the steps of such as had lately passed that way; by
this, she coniectured the nymphes were not farre off, and, therefore,
following the tract their feete had made vpon the flowers, she was quickly _
brought t to the head of Hellicon, where, in an arbour of eglantine, and
damaske rose-trees, one twisted so cunningly within another, as hard it
was to iudge, whether nature or arte had bestowed most to the bewtifying
of that bower. She found the Muses euery one seriously applying their
seucrall exercises, whom, when they saw (hauing saluted her with a
dutifull reuerence) stoode attentiue (being well assured her comming
was not without cause) what charge shee would giue, or. what shee
would commaund to be registred. ‘To whome Fame, to the intent they
might not long bee in suspence about her sodaine approch, as well, for
that her businesse was impatient of delay, as to resolue their earnest
expectation, spake in this manner:

You need not muse, gracious nurces of learning, at my presence in
this place, because I vse not oftentimes to visit you, nor trouble your
minds with ambiguous imaginations concerning my purpose, since I
seldome craue your Ranee but for MEAD] accidents; notwith-
standing, for the varietie of matter requires not alwayes one forme, and
still, with process of time, as mens maners change, our method alters,
you shall perceyue Iam not now tq begin, but to reuiue what ignorance
in darknes seemes to shadow, and hatefull obliuion hath almost rubbed
out of the booke of honour. It isnot of Kinges and mightie potentates,
but such whose vertues made them great, and whose renowne sprung
not of the noblenes of their birth, but of the notable towardnesse of
their well qualified mindes, aduaunced not with loftie titles, but praysed
for the triall of their heroycal truthes. Of these must you indite, who,
though their states were but meane, yet dooth their worthy prowesse
match superiours, and therefore haue I named them Worthies. Nine
were they in number, their countrie England, the cite they liued in
famous London, famous in deede for such men, and yet forgetful to
celebrate the remembrance of their names, and negligent, I may say, in
performing the like attempts, hauing, for imitation, such goodly pre-
sidents as these to supplie them that want, with. wisdome, and with

better instruction, F am determined to discourse againe what I haue .
often bruted, thereby to stirre vp sluggards, and to giue secure world- -
lings to vnderstande (who extend no further then for wealth, ‘and whose .
hearts suppose a heape of coine the greatest happines) that the censure
of honour ought to increase, when as, by substance, they arise to
authoritie, and none so abiect but may be made a subiect of glorie and
magnanimitle, if so thereunto they will bend their endeuours.

For performance hereof, I know my theame so large and copious, as
all your wits might, in generall, be imployed to dilate and expresse the -
same, yet only Clio shall be sufficient, whome alone I make choise off,
the rather, becauseit chiefly concernes hir. And, so beckning towards
her with her head, made an end of her speach.

She had no sooncr sayd, but all the rest, as satisfied in that they
desired to know, presently cast down their lookes, that were before
stedfastly fixed vpon the browes of Fame, and began to turne to their
labuurs, which, all this while, by reason of her talke, they had inter-
‘mitted; oncly Clio, clasping vp her booke of famous hystories, and,
taking her golden pen in hand, rose from the scate where she sate, and,
leauing her sisters with due reucrence, was readie to folow Fame where
so cuer she would conduct her.

At the doore of*the enterance into the arbour, there stoode a silver
chariout drawne by the force of Pegasus, which Fame, of purpose, bad
prouided, because Clio therein. might the better kecpe wing with her.
Into the which she. was no sooner mounted, but straightway, as swift
as the burning dartes of Iupiter, they made their passage through the
subtle ayr, vntill they soared over the hollow vault, through which
the way leadeth down to the rule of vnder earth; there Clio pulled her
rayne, and, with a headlong fall, according to her guides direction,
neuer staid vntill the stecly houes of Pegasus did beate against thé gates
of Tartara, where, being receyved in, they left the crooked thornie way
smoking with sulpher, and neuer ceasing contagious vapours, and kept:
directly on the other side, which delighted their eyes with so many
glorious sights, that, before they knew it, they were arriued vndcr the
Elesian shades; where, when the goddes had remained a while, dis-
coursing with her companion the seucrall habitations, as that of louers
in sweete groues of muske she spide, at last, the place where Electrum
growes, sweetned continually with burning baulme boughes, with
which braue souldiours, and warlike cauilliers, cured their ranck scarres/
There did she shake her bright immortall wings, and with the melodious
noyse, and with the sweet breath was fanned from those pheenix fea-
thers, she awaked nine comely knights, that, arme in arme, vpona
greene banke, strewed with rose buddes, had laid their conquering
heads to rest in peace.

This, quoth she, is the farthest end of our iourney! here must we take
our stations for a while, and those whom thou seest elevating their
bodies from the ground, from whose browes sparkle gleames of immortal!
glorie, are the nine worthy champions I told you of, whom, as by my
power, I haue awaked; so will I cause to speake and declare their
owne fortunes, onely be thou attentiue, and set down with thy pen
what thou shalt heare them speake; and so comming-to the first, which

was a tall aged man, his haire as white as snow, vpon his backe a scar-
let robe, his temples bound about with baulme, and, in his hand, a
bright shining blade: She toucht his lippes with her finger, and straight-
way his tongue began to vtter these words:

. Sir William Wallworth, Fishmonger, sometime Maior of London.

WHAT I shall speake, suppose it is not vaine,
Nor think ambition tunes my sounding voyce,
It bootes not clay, to stand on glorious gaine ;
An other place bereaues vs of that choyce :
For when the pompe of earthlie pleasures gon,
Our goasts lie buried vnderneath a stone.

Nor, when I liu'd, carpt I at Phoebus light,
My deedes did passe, without comparing pride ;
Who shone the least (mee thought apear'd more bright)
I wisht it secret, what the world discride,
Nor would now shewe (fayre goddesse but for thee)
The charge beseemes an other, and not mee.

To ouerpasse then, how I was instaul'd,
To weare the purple robe of maiestrate,
Jt shall suffice I su'de not, but was calde;
Of Fortunes gifts, let baser minds relate:
In such a time, it was my chaunce to sway,
When riches quaild, and vertue wonne the day.

In Richards raygne, the Second of that name,
Of Londons weale, liefetenant to his grace,
Wallworth was chose vnworthie of the same,
Within his hand to beare the citics mace:
To fishmongers, the honour did redownd,
Whose brotherhood was my preferments grownd.

These were not dayes of peace, but broyling warre,
Dissention spred her venom through the land,
‘And stird the prince and subiect to a iarre;
Hated loue, rigor, dutie did withstand:
In such a tempest of vnbridled force,
As manie lost their liues, without remorse.

For by a taxe, the King requirde to haue,
The men of Kent and Pisce did rebell;
Their first decree concluded none to saue.
But hauocke all, a heauie tale to tell:
And so, whet they were gatherde to a head,
Towards London, were these gracelesse rebells ledd,

THE NINE WORTH IES OF LONDON.

What spoyle they made in countries as they came,
How they did rob, and tyrranize in pride,
The widowes cries were patterns of their shame,
And sanguin streames of infants blood beside: .
For like the sea, when it hath caught a breach,
So rusht these traytors, past. compassions reach.

So desperate was their rage, as they preuailde,
And entered the citie by the sword;
The Towre wals were mightely assayld,
And prisoner, there, made headlesse at a word:
Earles manner houses were by them destroyd,
The Sauoy, and S. Yones, by Smithfeeld spoyld.

All men of law, that fell into their hands,
They left them breathlesse welteringin their blood ;
Ancient records were turn'd to firebrands,
Anie had fauour, sooner then the good :
So stout these cutthrotes were in their degree,
That noblemen must serue them on their knee,

In burning and in slaughter long they toyld,
That made the King and all his traine agast ;
Such rancour had their stomackes ouerboyld,
They hopte to get the soueraignitie at last :
In deede his Maiestie was youngin yeares,
Which brought distresse to him, and to his peeres,

Yet with a loyal guard of bils and bowes,
^ Collected of our tallest men of trade,
¥ did protect his person from his foes,
Where there presumption trembled to inuade:
It yerkt my soule, to see my prince abusde,
In whose defence, no danger I refusde.

In these extreames it was no boote to fight, .
The rebells marched with so huge an host ;
The King crau'd parley, by a noble knight,
Of sterne Wat Tyler, ruler of the rost: °
A countrie boore, a googlie proper swayne,
To put his countrie to such wretched payne.

This rustick scoft, atfirst, the Kings request,
Yet, at the last, he seem'd to giue consent ;
Aleaging he would come when he thought best :
T'is well (quoth he) is all their courage spent:
Ile make them on their bended knees intreat,
Or cast their bodies in a bloodie sweat,

THE NINE WORTHIES OF LONDON. 171

Begirt with steele, our gownes were laid apart,
Age hindered not, though feeble were my joynts;
T’would make a fearfull coward take a heart,
When prince opprest a countries cause appoynts :
Who would refuse, and death, or grieuous paine,
To follow him that is his soueraygne.

The place appoynted where to meete these mates
(That like audatious pessants did prepare,
As if their calling did concerne high states,
With brasen lookes, deuoyd of awfull care)
Was Smithfeeld, where his Maiesty did stay,
An howre ere these rebels found the way.

At last the leaders of that brutish rowt,
JackeStrawe, Wat Tiler, and a number more,
Aproacht the place, with such a yelling showt,
As seldome had the like been heard before:
— The King spake faire, and bad them lay downe armes,
And he would pardon all their former harmes.

But as fierce lions are not tam'd with words,
Nor sauage monsters conquered but by force;
So gentlenesse vnshethes a. traitors sword,
And fayre perswasions makes the wicked worse;
His clemencie prouoakt, and not dismaide,
Because of them they thought the King affraide.

And, as a witnesse of their inward vice,
Their tongues beganne to taunt in sawsie sort;
Obedience blusht, and honour lost her price,.
A modest shame forbids the fowle report:
How presumption made these caitifes swell,
As if the diuels did bellow foorth of hell.

Their loathsome talkes inkindle angers fire,
And fretting passions made my sinewes shake,
Twas death to me to see the base aspire,
Such woundes would men in deadlie slumber wake.
Yet I refrainde, my betters were in place,
It were no maners nobles to disgrace.

But, ~vhen I saw the rebells pride encrease,
A1 1 none controll and counterchecke their rage;
'T’were seruice good (thought I) to purchase peace,
And malice of contentious brags asswage :
With this conceyt, all feare had taken flight,
And I alone prest to the traitors sight.

Their multitude could not amaze my minde,
Their bloudie weapons did not make me shrinke;

True valour hath his constancie assignde,
The eagle at the sunne will never winke:

Amongst | their troupes, incenst with mortall hate,
I did arest Wat Tiler on the pate.

'The stroke was giuen with so good a will,

It made the rebell coutch vnto the earth ;
His fellowes that beheld (t'is strange) were still,
It mard the maner of their former mirth ;

I left him not, but, ere I did depart,

I stabd my dagger to his damned heart.

The rest, perceiving of their captaine slaine,
Soone terrified did cast their weapons downe ;
And like to sheepe began to flie amaine,
They durst not looke on iustice dreadfull frowne :
‘The king pursude, and we were not the last,
Till furie of the fight were ouerpast.

Thus were the mangled parts of peace recurde,
The princes falling state by right defended ;
From common weale all mischiefe quite abiurde,
With loue and dutie vertue was attended :
And for that deede, that day before t'was night,
My king in guerdon dubbed me a knight,

Nor ceast he so to honour that degree,
A costly hat his highnesse likewise gaue,
That Londons maintenance might cuer be ;
A sword also be did ordaine to haue,
That should be caried stilt before the maior,
Whose worth deserude succession to that chaire.

This much in age when strength of youth was spent,
Hath Wallworth by vnwonted valour gaind ;
T’was all he sought, his countrey to content,
Successe hath fortune for the iust ordaind :
And, when he died, tbis order he began,
Lord Maiors are knights, their office being done,

Worthily had this father of his countrey the formost place in this
discourse, whose valerous attempts may be a light to all ensuing ages,
to lead them in the darkenesse of ail troublesome times, to the resur-
rection of such a constant affection, as will not faulter or refuse any

perill to profite his countrey, and purchase honour.

Such was his de-

sert, as cuen then when good men dispaired of their safetie, and the
, verie pillars of the common wealth tottered, his courage redeemed the

one,

and vnderpropped the other: martialists and patrones of magna-

nimitie trembled at that, which he beyond all expectation aduentured.
Let enuie, therefore, retraet the malice of her blistring tongue, which
heretofore (and now not a litle) striueth, by her contentions and ripen-
ing nature, to obscure the brightnesse oF their praise, and scoffe at their
- Ingenious dispositions, whose Ede oH promiseth small: But yet, when
occasion bath required, haue performed more then thcy whose brags
haue vapord to the clouds, I wish the like mince, and the like loyal-
tie, in all those that make the citie the nurse of filets liues, and subiect
of their fortunes, that London may continue stil that credite, to be
called, the * great chamber of her kings, and ‘the key of her countreys
blisse’ But t to proceede, Fame hauing marked the grauitic, eloquence,
and orator-like gesture of this good knight, during "Ihe iaae of
his talke, was so well pleased as she vowed to erect his statue, where,
in spight of all contrarious and maleuolent blasts of vertues carpers, it
should stande immoueable ; and Clio, that had pend his speach, grieued
she had not leysure (as she desired, and he deserued) to set dawn his
actions in better and more ample manner: For alreadie another of the
knightly crew stood vp readie to dclate what Fame expected; therefore,
she was forced to let it somewhat rawly passe, hoping that the excel-
lency of the matter would excuse the rudenesse of the rime.

The next, beinga man whom nature had likewise bewtified with the
colour and badge of wisedome and authoritie, as one on whom a
greater power then fortunes faioned deitie had bestowed the fulnesse of
worldly treasure and heavens perfection, beganne accordingly to frame

his tale:

Sir Henrie Pitchard, Knight,

HE potter tempers not the massie golde,
A meaner substance serues his simple trade ;
His workemanship consistes of slimie molde,
Where any plaine impression soone is made :
ids His pitchards haue no outward glittering pompe,
As other mettels of a finer stampe.

Yct for your vse as wholsome as the rest,
Though their beginning be but homely found ;
And sometime they are taken for the best,
Jf that be precious that is alwayes sound ;
From gould corrupting poysons do infect,
Where earthen cups are free from all suspect.

So censure of the Pitchard you behould,
Whose glorie springes not of his lowe frame; sie
Though | he be clay, he may compare with gould, :
His properties nere felt reproachfull shame:
For, when [ first drew breath vpon the earth,
My mind did bcawtifie creations byrth.

I dare not sing of Mars his bloodie scarres,
It is a stile too high for my conceipt;
Yet in my youth | serued in the warres,
And followde him that made his foes entreat:
Edward the Third, the phenix of his time,
For life and prowes spotted with no crime.

From France returnd, so well I thriu’d at home,
As by permission of celestiall grace ;
I rose by that, men termd blind fortunes dome,
To such a loftie dignitie of place:
As by election then it did appeare,
I was Lord Maior of London for a yeare,

I vsde not my promotion with disdaine, .
Nor suffred heapes of coyne to fret with rust;
I knewe the ende of such a noble gaine,
And saw that riches were not giuen for lust:
But for reliefe and comfort of the poore,
Against the straunger not to shut my doore.

I could repeate perhaps some liberall deedes,
But that I feare vaine-glories bitter checke ;
His plenties want, his haruest is but weedes,
That doth in wordes his proper goodnesse decke :
It shall suffice, he hath them in recorde,
That keepes in store his stewards just reward.

Yet, for aduancement of faire Londons fame,
I will omit one principall regarde ;
That such as heare may imitate the same,
Whén auarice by bountie shall be barde:
Rich men should thinke of honour more then pelfe,
I liu'd as well for others as my selfe.

When Edward triumpht for his victories,
And helde three crownes within his conquering hand,
He brought rich trophies from his enemies,
That were erected in this happie land:
We all reioyc'd, and gaue our God the praise,
That was the authour of those fortunate dayes.

And as from Douer, with the prince his sonne, 5
The king of Cypres, France, and Scots did passe,
All captive prisoners to this mightie one,
Fiue thousand men, and I the leader was:
All well preparde, as to defend a fort,
Went foorth to welcome him in martiall sort.

The riches of our armour, and the cost, ^ 1
Each one bestowd in honour of that day,
Were here to be exprest but labour lost, -
Silke coates and chaines of golde bare little sway:
And thus we marcht accepted of our king,
To whom our comming seemd a gracious i; thing.

But, when the citie pearde within our sights,
I crau'd a boune submisse vpon my knee :
E haue his grace, those kings, with earles and knights,
A day or two to banquet it with me: /
The king admirde, yet thankefully replide,
Vnto thy house both I and these will ride.

Glad was I that so I did preuaile,
My heart reuiud, my parts, me thought, were young
For cheare and sumptuous cost no coine did faile,
And he that talkt of sparing did me wrong:
Thus, at my proper charge, I did retaine
Foure kings, one prince, and all their royal] traine.

Yet, lo, this pompe did vanish in an houre,
There is no trusting to a broken staffe ;
Mans carefull life doth wither like a flower,
The destenies do stroy what we do graffe :
For all his might, my gold wherewith I pleasde,
Death took vs both, and would not be appeasde.

Of all there now remaines no more but this,
What vertue got by toyling labours paine,
To shrine our spotlesse soules in heauenlie blisse,
Till to our bodies they returne againe:
What else we find is vaine and worthlesse drosse,
And greatest getting but the greatest losse.

After that Clio had writ what this famous knight had tolde, she no
little wondred at his modest audacitie.. Therefore, she sayde this to
Fame: Renowned goddesse, enemie to the fatall sisters, and onely friend
to the good deseruers ; it were beseeming thy excellencie to proceede

touch their vertuous endeuours; whereunto the goddesse condiscend-

Sir William Seauenoake.

MY harmelesse byrth misfortunequite contemd,
And, from my pappe, did make my youth a pray ;
So scarcely budd, my branches were vnstemd,
My byrth howre was deathes black and gloomie day:
Had not the highest stretched forth his might,
The breake of day had beene the darkest night.

Some monster that did enuie natures worke
(When I was borne in Kent) did cast me foorth
In desert wildes, where, though no beast did lurke
To spoyle that life, the heavens made for woorth :
Vnder seauen oakes yet mischiefe flung me downe,
Where I was found and brought vnto a towne,

Behold an ebbe that neuer thought to flowe,
Behold a fall unlikelie to recouer:
Behold a shrub, a weed, that grew full lowe,
Behold a wren that neuer thought to houer:
Behold yet how the highest can commaund,
And make a sand foundation firmelie stand.

For when my infants time induste more yeares,
After some education in the schoole,
And some discretion in my selfe appeares,
With labor to be taught with manuall toole:
To learne to live, to London thus being found,
Apprentise to a groser 1l was bound.

To please the honest care my master tooke,
I did refuse no toyle nor drudging payne ;
My hands no labor euer yet forsooke, f
Whereby I might encrease my masters gayne:
Thus Seauenoake liud, for so they calde my name,
Till heauen did place mee in a better frame,

In time my prentise yeares were quite expirde,
And then Bellona, in my homelie brest,
My countries honour with her flames had firde,
And for a souldior made my fortune prest.
Henry the Fift my king did warre with France,
Then I with him his right to readvance.

Then did couragious men with Joue compare,
And striuc, by armes, to get their prince renowne;
There sillie I like thirsty soule did fare,
To drink their fill would venter for to drowne:
Then did the height of my inhaunst desire
Graunt me a little leasure to aspire,

THE NINE WORTHIES OF LONDON. 177

The Dolphyne then of France, a comelie knight,
Disguised, came by chaunee into a place,
Where I, well wearied with the heate of fight,
Had layd me downe, for warre had ceast his chace,
And, with reproachfull words, as layzie swaine,
He did salute me ere I Jong had layne.

J, knowing that he was mine enemie,
A bragging French-man, for we tearmd them so,
Jl] brookt the proud disgrace he gaue to me,
And, therefore, lent the Dolphyne such a blowe,
As warmd his courage well to lay about,
Till he was breathlesse, though he were so stout.

At last the noble prince did aske my name,
My birth, my calling, and my fortunes past,
With admiration he did heare the same,
And so a bagge of crownes to me he cast ;
And, when he went away, he saide to mee,
Seauenoake be prowd the Dolphyne fought with thee.

When English had obtainde the victorie,
We crossed backe the grudging seas againe,
Where all my friends supposed warre to be,
For vice and follie, virtues onclie bane:
But see the simple how they are deceaude,
To iudge that honour, honour hath bereaud.

For, when my souldiors fame was laid aside,
To be a groser once againe I framde ;
And he which rules above my steps did guide,
That through his wealth Seauenoake in time was famde.
'To be Lord Maior of London by degree,
Where iustice made me sway with equitie.

Gray haires made period vnto honours call,
And frostie death had furrowed in my face
Colde winter gashes, and to sommers fall,
And fainting nature left my mortall place;
For with the date of flesh my life decayde,
And Seauenoake dide ; for every flower must fade.

By testament in Kent I built a towne,
And briefly calde it Seauenoake, from my name;
A free schoole to sweete learning, to renowne,
I placde for those that playde at honours game;
Both land and liuing to that towne I gaue,
Before I tooke possession of my graue.

178 THE NINE WORTHIES OF LONDON.

Thither I bare my flesh, but leaue my fame,
To be a president for London wights ;
And you, that now behold fair vertues maime,
Thinke be is happie for his countrey fights
For, for my guerdon to this pleasant field,.
My carkas did my dying spirit yeeld, —

By that time this famous man had thus inhobled his name by telling
his nature, the pitifull and louely muse had delated at large his eternall
honour, hauing, in no part, beene nigardly of his prodigall prayse :
But, l'ame dismissing him to his former rest, hard by a still siluer
streame that beate warbling ecchoes into the vaultie bankes, whercas de-
ceassed sea-nymphes vse to sport, pressing his manlike paulme vpon
the ground, he bent his comelie bodie to the carth; where, not as pos-
sessed with heauinesse, but with paridice-like ioy, heeafely and sweete-
ly reposed his comely limbes; likeas the woonted martialists of former
memorie were accustomed to doe, when, returning from hot encountred
broyles, they vnbuckled their steeld enclosures to enioy the fresh and
delightsome breath of peace. There are they, that woonted to be of Pans
musical parliament, fayre forresters and carrolling sheeppeards, de-
lighted ; and, almost inchaunted with this champions storie, thought to
present him with some short recreation; therefore, vpon a bush of ju-
niper brambles, where Philomelie had set her speckled breast, they all
at once did beate with siluer wings; then from this swecte sauouring
thicket rowsed tbe tripping deare, and after them the nimble footed
fawne, wrestling together, once ouertaken with pleasing and de-
lectable sport, rubbing their horned browes vpon their sweete twined
bowers; this did they do in fauour of his birth, being committed to
their gouernments, before his mothers milke had made him blithe.

This pastime put the famous Seauenoake in minde of his beginning,
how nature first had inniciated her worke in miserie, and ended it in
miracles, not arguing herein her vnconstant kinde, but her prouident
foresight to withstand the mischiefe of all misfortunes; and, whilest
Fame, with her admiring muse, was busied in posing the rest, this me-
ritorious man did please himselfe with this poem :

Where fortune had her birth the sunne sate downe,
Yet gaue no liuing glorie to the childe;
She grew, and gaue the god a golden crowne,
It pleased him not, for he was euer milde ;
Yet drew she disposition from his throne,
That, without her, no wight can moue alone. >

Then he betook him to his former meditation, from whom he was
firstawaked ; when another knight of that aduaunced crew was by Fame
assigned to speake, called, Sir Thomas White, the goddesse cleaped
him, i lifting vp his aged limmes, yet not decayed, sayd as fol-
loweth :

THE NINE WORTHIES OF LONDON, 179

Sir Thomas White.

WHITE is my name, and milke white are my haires,
White were my deedes, though vaine is proper praise,
White for my countrey were my kind affayres,
"White was the rule, that measurd all my dayes :
Yet blacke the mould, that coutcht me in my graue,
By which more pure my present state I haue,

I cannot sing of armes, and blood-red warres,
Nor was my colour mixt with Mars his hew ;
I honour those that ended countrey iarres,
For therein subiects shew, that they are trew :
But priuately at home I shewde my selfe,
To be no louer of vame worldly pelfe. c

My deedes haue tongues to speake, though I surcease,
My orators the learned striue to bee,
Because, I twined paulmes in time of peace,
And gaue such gifts, that made faire learning free:
My care did build them bowers of sweet content,
Where many wise their golden time haue spent.

A-noyse of gratefull thankes within mine eares,
Descending from their studies (glads my heart)
That I began to wish with priuate teares,
There liued more that were of Whites desert:
But now I looke, and spie that time is balde,
And vertue comes not, being seldome calde.

But sith I am awaked not to waile,
But to vnfolde to Fame my former life;
I must on forward with my single tale,
For sorrow will but breake the heart with strife:
White is no warriour (as I sayd before)
Nor entred euer into daungers doore.

'The English cities, and incorporate townes,
Doe bear me witnesse of my countreys care;
Where yearely I doe feede the poore with crownes,
For I was neuer niggard yet to spare:
And all chief burrowes of this blessed land
: Haue somewhat tasted of my liberall hand.

He, that did lend to me the grace of wealth,
Did not bestow it for to choake with store ;
But to maintaine the needie poore in health,
By which expence my wealth encreased more:
The oyle of gladnesse euer chear'd my hart,
Why should I not then pitie others smart?

180 ` THE NINE WORTHIES OF LONDON.

Lord Maior of London I was calde to bee,
And iustice ballance bare with vpright hand ;
I iudg'd all causes right in each degree,
I never partiall in the law did stand :
But, as my name was White, so did I striue
To make my deedes, whilest yet I was aliue;

But my prefixed fate had twinde my thread, .
And White it was, and therefore best she likt it;
She set her web, within a loome of lead,
And with her baulme of grace she sweetely dight it :
And with consent her sisters gaue this grace,
That White should keepe his colour in this place.

When this aged knight had peaceably (obseruing decorum with lis
passed state) tolde his plaine and vnpolished tale, in all points like him-
selfe, clothed with the fashion of his minde, vpon a bed of lillies hee
Jayde him downe, whose colour, answerable to his snowie beard, made
them take especiall delight in the simpathie of their qualitie. Then
sayde Clio, thou faire and swift foote goddesse, winged with the doue,
and eyed with the eagle, let me bee boldned (with thy fauour) to de-
maunde one question, Which of all thisnoble companie shall next dilate
his life? Sweete muse (quoth Fame) this knight, pointing to Sir Iohn
Bonham, sometimes apprentice to a marchant in London. Your deitie,
sayde Clio, then (vnder correction) will mistake the placing. For this
gallant liued in England, in the time of Edward the First, and we are
alreadie come downe, so farre as queene Maric. Therein, sayde Fame,
wee dce preferre their age, and the honour of their calling, before the
obseruation of time, which derogates from no other course, then that
which sometimes our poets haue vsed, placing euer the worthiest for-
most, as to induce the rest by example, not to be starke for want of
courage, Theriore, it shall not be vncomly or preposterous, when the
yonger knights shall speake after those that bare the honour of the
maioraltie.

This excuse wel contented the labouring muse, who, framing her
golden pen in her fingers, fixed it ready to her memoriall leaues,
whilest Fame did rouse this worthie from his rest: A man of stature
meane, in countenance milde, in speach man-like, and in performance
couragious ; his beard Abron, and his bodie bigge; and thus he began,
when Fame had giuen him caueat to speake.

Sir Iohn Bonham, Knight.

LET them that pull their quils from griffons wings,
And dippe them in the bloud of Pagans baue,
Let them describe me from the brest tbat sings,
A poem of bloudie showers of raigue:

THE NINE WORTHIES OF LONDON. 181

And in my tale, a mournefull eleagie,
To such as do the lawes of God denie.

A gentleman I am of gentle blood,
A knight my father was, yet thought no scorne
_ To place his sonne within a prentise hood,
For nature will appeare as she was borne:
A: Deuonshire man, to London loe I came,
To learne to traffique of a marchant man.

Shortelie from thence to Denmarke was I bound,
Well shipt with ware, my master gaue in charge;
I deemd the water better then the ground,
And on the scas a man might see at large:
Me thought that fortune there mioht flie her fill,
And pitch and light vpon what place she will.

Ariud at last, in Denmarke was I sett,
Where Bonham did demeane himselfe so well;
That, though some strangers there had pitcht a nett
'To catch my feete, themselues therein soone fell:
And such dishonour dropt vpon their head,
As they their native countrie quicklie fled.

My worthlesse fame vnto the king was brought,
Who shewd himselfe both mild and debonare ;
A cause of gracious kindnes still he sought,
And for my countrey did commend my care:
And though I say it, that might better cease,
Bonham did purchase fame, and loues encrease.

A vertuous ladie, and a curteous prince,
This famous king vnto his daughter had,
Hir countenance did the baser sort conuince,
Yet did she bare her gently, not to bad:
Such was her beautie, such was her grace and fauour,
That watchful enuy no way could depraue her.

Excepting still the praise of Procerpine,
I may a little glance vpon her grace,
The words she spake did euer seeme diuine,
And nature chose her alters in her face:
Where in the day her golden flames do burne,
And they that gaze shall frie, except they turne.

There bodies once consum'd, loue tooke their soules,
And there satte binding them within her haire;
She neede not frowne, her smoothest lookes controles,
See how she siayes, yet dooth the guiltlesse spare :
Guiltlesse they are that dare not stay so long,
To heare the musick of inchaunting song.

182 THE NINE WORTHIES OF LONDON.

Should I but speake the words ynto her face,
Perhaps, you would suppose I flatter her;
If so, I haue too long vpheld the chace,
And negligentlie spard the pricking spurre :
In whose sweete praise I end, not.yet begunne,
Because my lame conceipt wants feete to runne.

Who will not iudge, the brauest Denmarke knights,
Will cracke their lances in her proud defence?
And now by this a troope of worthie wights,
Prepared iustes, her beawtie to incence:
And vnto me, vnworthie me, she gaue,
A fauour to adorne my courage brauc.

I know your ielousie will iudge me nowe,
And say I prais'd her for her fauours sake,
‘Alas! he lookes^not vp, is bound to bowe,
A ceader neuer springeth from a brake:
It pleasd her well, age not displeased mee,
Why then should envie still with honour bee,

They, that haue guiders,' cannot chuse but runne,
Their mistresse eyes doe learne them chiualrie ;
With those commaunds these turneys are begunne,
And shiuerd launces in the ayre do flie:
No more but this, there Bonham had the best,
Yet list I not to vaunt how I was blest.

Each knight had fauour bound to his desart,
And euerie ladie lent her loue a smile ;
There boldly did I not my selfe insert,
Nor secret practise did my pride compile:
But of her selfé the gentle princesse gaue
Rewarde of honour vnto me her slaue.

In fine, my masters shippe with goods were fraught,
And Í desirous to returne agayne,
For all the fauours, that my fortune wrought,
Vnto my masters businesse was no mayne:
But so occasion, trusty friend to time,
Prepard me steps, and made me way to clime.

Great Solimon, the Turkish emperor,
Made sodaine warres against the Danish king,
And most vnlike a noble emperour,
Did spoyle and-ruine to his confines bring:
A thing vnlike, yet truth to witnesse call,
Aud you shall finde hee made mee general].

THE NINE WORTHIES OF LONDON, 183

A puissaunt armie then was leuied straight,
And skilfull pilats sent to guide my ship:
Imagin but a Christians deadly hate
Against the heathen that our blood doth sip;
Then thinke how Bonham, bent against the Turke,
Wrought wonders by the high Almighties worke.

Half of his armie, smouldred with the dust,
_ Lay slaughtred on the earth in gorie blood ;
And he himselfe compeld to quell his lust,
By composition, for his peoples good :
Then, at a parlie, he admirde me so,
He made me knight, and let his armie go.

He gaue me costly robes and chaines of golde,
And, garded with his gallies, sent me backe;
For fame, unto the Danish king, had tolde
My gotten glorie, and the Turkish wracke ;
He gaue me gifts, in guerdon of my fight,
And sent me into England like a knight.

How I was welcomd there, t'were vaine to tell ;
` For, shortly after, life had runne his race,
And hither was I summoned to dwell,
My other fellow worthies to embrace:
Thus gently borne, a marchant by my trade,
And in the field Bonham a knight was made.

Clio, with the straungenesse of this report, was wrapt so much into
admiration (both in respect of his feature, fortune, and faire tongue) as
she seemed cast into a traunce, neuer remoouing her eyes from of his
youthfull face, till Fame, perceyuing her deepe cogitations, put her
foorth of her dumps, by asking her, why she pawsed so long? Her
chast eyes (it appeared) hauing all this while seene no other, but such
whose countenance resembled winters frosts, began now, with the
chearefull heate of this flowring spring, to waxe warme with secrete
working of some amorous passion to excuse with suspition; for it
stoode with her credite not to bee faultie in any such idle toy. Shee
answered, It was not the inticement of any misbeseeming phantasie, that
allured her to that sodaine silence, but onelie a kind of conceyte shee
fostered, howe it coulde be possible, that the Turke, being a man of
nature barbarous and cruell, and especially towardes Christians, should
nowe bee so much mollifyed, and brought from his wonted fiercenesse
to fauour and honour one, whom by nature hee loathed and detested,
For, what though Bonhams valour had gotten that aduantage, as, by
reason and lawe of armes, he might inforce the T'urke confesse, the
safegarde of his life depended on his clemencie; yet, since the brutish-
nesse of that nature esteemeth of vertue but to serue their owne lust
and profite, I see no argument of likelihoode, why the Turke, hauing
his aduersarie in his court, that.a little before had made him bowe, not

with gentle perswasions, but with downe-right strokes, should not
rather bee incensed to cutte off his head, then doe him the least good
in the world. So seuere is the regarde of honour, as, rather then it will
be vpbrayded with disgrace (though that disgrace were cause of many
incomparable pleasures) no hatefull, vnnaturall, or vngratefull practise
shall be attempted, til the eyesore of their grudging heart be remoued ;
and princes, if they cannot beare words, much less will put vp wounds ;
and that was it, quoth she, that troubled my serious muse. —

At these wordes Fame began to frowne; her patience was prouoked,
that one so well instructed in the knowledge of such matters, as shee
was (her whole studie consisting of nothing else, but of ciuill discipline)
should make a doubt in so slender a contrarietie; yet, to cutte off fur-
ther protraction of time, shee replyed her this resolution: That shee was
sure shee could not be ignoraunt, howe that it was the affect of vertue,
that wrought such an alteration in the Turke, which, as it is diuine,
descended from the goddes, so it worketh beyonde the expectation of
men. And, for proofe thereof, alreadie sundrie authorities were al-
ledged ; as, that of Dyonisius, whose murtherous minde coulde not but
reuerence Plato, although hee continually inueighed bitterly agaynst
his tyrannie; and that of Alexander, who loued Darius for his forti-
tude, although hee was his enemie, Therefore it ought not to seeme
miraculous vnto her, when vsually such accidents as those followe ver-
tues fauourites, But, quoth she, I rather thinke you were amazed to
heare such rare exploits proceede from a prentice, and one of no more
experience: But let not that seeme straunge; hee spake no more then
truth, nor all that might be sayd concerning his hawghtie endeuours.
The other foure, whom you see on his left hand, will, if you seeme
incredulous, confirme a possibilitie in his speaches; they are of the like
condition and qualitie as he was, prentices, that purchased estimation
by thesworde. Clio blushed, that she had beene so inquisitiue; but,
as It may be coniectured, it was not so much for her owne satisfaction,
as to take away hereafter all controuersie, and needlesse cauillation, as
might concurre by the curious view of such as shoulde fortune to haue
the reading of her lines. By this, Sir Ichn Bonham had coucht him-
sclfe againe in the bedde of his secure rest, wlien another gay knight,
sterne in his lookes, and strong set in his limmes, carying in his browes
the picture of Mars, and in his maners the maiestie of a prince
with a lowe salutation, made himselfe knowne by this brefe oration:

Sir Christopher Croker, Knight, of London, Vintner.

IT is not birth that makes a man renownde,
Nor treasure store that purchaseth our fame ;.
Bigge words are but an emptie vessels sound,
And death is better than a life with shame,
This proueth Croker in his trauailes made,
Of London once a vintner by his trade.

THE NINE WORTHIES OF LONDON.

In Gracious-streete, there was I bound to serue,
My masters name hight Stodie in his time,
From whom in dutie I did neuer swarue,
Nor was corrupted with detested crime:
My education taught me so to liue,
As by my paines my maisters purse might thriue.

M y fellow-seruants lou'd me with their hearts;
My friends reioyc'd to see me prosper so,
And kind Doll Stodie (though forsmall deserts)
On me vouchsaftaffection to bestow:
Whose constancie was such, that, for her sake,
No toyle was grieuous I did vndertake,

Such was my state, as I my selfe could wish,
Deuoid of care, not toucht with egre want,
My sleepe secure, my foode choise bewties dish;

Onely in this my pleasure seemed scant,
That I vnable was her state to raise,
That was the lengthner of my happie days.

Whilst thus I was perplexed with that thought,
Behold how Fortune fauourde my desire,
Of sodaine warres the ioyfull newes was brought,
And Edward ayde of souldiors did require;
Amonssgt the rest it fell vnto my chaunce,
That I was prest to follow him to Fraunce.

My maister would haue sewd for my discharge,
His daughter with her teares gan me assaile,
On euery side they prayd and promist large,
Bnt nothing could in that respect preuaile:
Such thirst of honour spurd my courage on,
I would to warres, although I went alone.

My forwardnesse perceyu'd, my valour knowne,

Ouer a band of souldiors I was chiefe;

Then sproute the seedes that were but lately sowne,

My longing soule had quickly found reliefe:

_ lsparde no cost, nor shrunke for any paine,
Because I ment my loue should reape the gaine.
To proue my faith vnto my countries stay,

And that a prentice (though but small esteemd)
Vnto the stoutest never giueth way,

If credit may by trial be redcemd :

At Burdeaux siege, when other came too late,
I was the first made entrance through the gate.

And when Don Peter, driuen out of Spaine,
By an usurping bastard of his line,
He crau’d some helpe, his crowne to reobtaine,
That in his former glorie he might shine:
Our King ten thousand seuerd from his host,
My selfe was one, Ispeake it not in boast.

With these Don Peter put the bastard dawne,,
Each citie yeelded at our first approch ;
It was not long ere he had got the crowne,
And taught his wicked PET to encroch:
In these affaires so well I shewd my might,
That for my labour I was made a knight.

Thus labour neuer looseth. his reward,
And he that seekes for honour sure shall speed,
What crauen minde was euer in regard ?
Or where consisteth manhood but in deed ?
I speake it that confirmd it by my life,
And, in the end, Doll Stodie was my wife.

This worthie hauing finished his taske sette downe by Fame, to cón-
firme the order of his first honour, reposed himselfe amongst the rest,
where he found a sweete murmuring of priuate and secrete conference,
what had passed by the seucrall annotations of eucrie ones prayse,
where they beganne (contemning the order of enuie) to colaude the
endeuours of one anothers actions, none particularly arrogating in
arrogancie the prayse of himselfe; to him that did most, they gaue
most applause, and so sweetly concorded in simpathie, that all the
Elesian harmonie might haue liberally commended their conditions.
The hushing riuers were caulme without murmur or contempt. The
leaues stood still, to admire these famous enterprises, and excellent
atchicuements. The windes bound themselues,up in the contentation
of voluntarie stilnesse, that they might beat libertie to hearken to these
meritorious men, and yeelded them praise condescending to their paincs.
The goddesse of darknesse (for envie approched not the place, so that it
was by that meanes continually day) whereby the sunne was euer glorious
in the pride of his height, without grudging, or any shew of declining ; -
the bright shining of whose alluring countenance inticed another vp,
called Sir Iohn Haukwood, or Sir Iohn Sharpe, from the Italians, Iohn
Acute, and from thence iudeed he brought backe into England, both
his name and his noblenesse. "The pictures of his renowne, for, as an
emblem of endlesse honour, tbe Venecians wrought underneath his
statue, set up in the citie, Giouanno Acuto Caualiero. This John
Haul wood, knight, he liued likewise in the time of Edward the Third,
that prince of famous memorie. When he pleasantly looked about ue
being a man of a most couragious countenance, and an ingenious nature,
thus he beganne to speake, as who should say he had wrong to be dew
ferred so long:

THE NINE WORTHIES OF LONDON.
Sir Iohn Haukwood, Knight.

WHO knowes my ofspring, doth not knowe my prime,
Who knowes my birth, perhaps, will scorne my deedes ;
My valour makes my vertue more then slime,
For that suruiues, though I weare deaths pale weedes:
Ground doth consume the carkas vnto dust,
Yet cannot make the valiants armour rust.

After that eighteene yeares had toucht my head,
Beinga prentice boy in Lumbardstreete,
A taylor by my trade, and I had lead
A few wilde years for striplings farre unmeete:
A souldior I was prest to servein Fraunce,
The Prince of Wales mine honour to inhaunce.

I serudea priuate souldior for a while,
Till courage made me greedie of renowne;
And causde me giue a noble man the foile,
That though with sturdie launce did beare me downe:
On foot that day my selfe did keepe in chace
Some worthie knights that feard to shew her face.

That day, the Prince of Wales, surnamde the Black,
Did mount me on a gallant English steed ;
Where I bestirde me so vpon his backe,
That none incountred me that did not bleed:
It was not I, nor Fortune, nor my fate,
His handit was, that seldome helpesto late,

His be the honour then, and his the prayse,
Yet haue I leaue to speake what Haukwood did ;
When noble Edward had disperst the rayes,
And by his prowes of the French was rid:
"Three more then I, my selfedid make the fourth,
The gentle princes then dubd knights of worth.

His knights he tearmd vs still amongst the rest,
And gaue vs honour fitting our estate ;
For England to be bound it seemd him best,
Because the French had swallowed Ed wards baite:
I tooke my leaue, and begged on my knee,
That I might wander other parts to see.

The prince inkindled with my honours heate,
Discharging me, bestowde on me a chaines
For still fresh courage on my heart did beate,
Which made me loue and womens acts refraine ;
Hearing the Duke of Millaine was distrest,
To Italie my voyage then was prest,

188 THE NINE WORTHIES OF LONDON.

The seas I quickly past, and came to shore, —
With me were fifteene-hundred English-men ;
We marcht to Millaine walles, where we had more
Of other nations to conioyne with them: i
There did the Italians tearme me John Acute, z
Because I had their foes in such pursutes

Castels and towers { had for my reward,
And got enough to pay my men withall ;
But I to hired pay had no regarde,
That prickt me on-which climbs the highest wall:
Honour and fame, whereof they gaue me store,
Which made me more audacious then before.

Millaine thus peac’d, the pope oppressed Spaine,
Then thither was I sent to quell his pride; -
Which being done, I did returne- againe, "T
And, stoopt with age, in Padua palace dide :
And he, that yet will heare of lohn Acute,
In Millaine shall not find the people mute.

All warres you see do ende as well as peace,
And then remaineth but a tumbe of dust ;
A voyce of Fame, a blacke and mourning hearce,
To what, then, may we likethis worldly lust?
Itisan euill vapouring smoke that fumes, j
Breaths in the braine, and so the life consumes.

When Sir John Haukwood had boldly presumed by Fames autho-
ritie to speake, he layde him downe, like one that wreaked no guerdon
for this grace; but, asif nature brought him foortli of dutie to performe
these deédes. So, ought every martiall minde imagine, that he is
borne for his countrey, as the custome of the ancient and famous
Romains was in all their actions, to studie to redounde the honour of
their deedes: to their countroy. If this were ambition and pride, it
would be laid flat in the dust, magnanimitie extolled to the hightest tip
of dignitie, and such a sweete LU and vnitie amongst men, that

he would be counted most happie that liued longest, for the profite of |

his friend. When Sir Iohn Haukwood, of this "perfeetion of minde,
bad layde him downe againe, another of the same stampe called Sir
Hugh Caluerley, as little ambitious as his fellowe, and as resolute in
eucrie degree, arose, looking about him, being ignoraunt what to doe.
But Fame, iogging him on the elbowe, soone awaked him from his
maze, whose suppose was his desert, which made him couet to bee
obscurde. Therefore; the goddesse was faine to animate him on fur-
ther, before he would be perswaded to speake. Gentle he was, and
full of humanitie, insomuch that he might haue wunne all the powers
of that place to admire the basenesse of ‘his profession, being a weauer.

But they, that haue e harbouring in their breasts, cannot but

giue him the right of his due, except the traine of enuie set vpon the
traine of honour, as commonly it doth; if it do, see he shall speake
for himselfe, and appeale to the most precise, whose wits, being more
busie then beautified with moral maners, thrust boldly, yet ignorantly,
vpon the well trained sort, approching famous perswasion; he began
as sodainly as hee arose sodainly,-as if now life had newly reuiued,
began to breath this gentle breath from out his mouth.

i : - Sir Hugh Caluerley, Knight.

WHO feares to swim a riuer, dreads the sea,
But he that's best resolu'd dare venture both ;
The greatest lumpe doth not the greatest die,
Base mettals to compare with golde are loth;
And why my quict wit refraines to speake,
Ts this, because the tallest ship may leake.

Tn England late yong Cauerley did liue, |
Silke-weauers honour merited by deedes; 4
In forraine broyles continually I striue,
Of lasting memorie to sow the seedes:
As by experience, they in Poland may
Expresse my English valour euery way.

After my princes seruice done in Fraunce,
I was entreated to the Polish King;
Whee as the Frizeland horse doth breake the launce,
And tamelesse beasts a valiant race doth bring:
There Maximilian hunted with his lords,
Entangling mankind beares in toyling cords,

There did I bring a boare vnto the bay,
That spoyld the pleasant fields of Polonie;
And, ere the morning parted with her gray,
The foming beast as dead as clay did lie:
The ladies cheekes lookt red with chegrefull blood,
And I was much commended for that good.

Some sayd I looked like Olympian Ioue,
When as he crackt in two the Centaurs bow ;
As swiftly footed as the God of Loue,
Or greene Syluanus when he chast the roc:
They brought me crownes of lawrell wreathd with gold,
The sweet and daintiest tongues my prayscs told.

* ^ These fauours fronted me with courage frowne,
That like the yong Alcides I did looke;

When he did lay the greedie lion downc,

190 . THE NINE WORTHIES OF LONDON,

No beast appeard, when I the woodes forsooke ;
So that the King supposd I was some wight,
Ordained by heauen to expell their flight.

In scarlet and in purple was I clad,
And golden buskins put vpon my feete:
A casket of the richest pearles 1 had,
And euery noble gently did me greete.
' So with the King I rode vnto the court,
Where, for to see me, many did resort.

At Iustes I euer was the formost man,
In field still forward, Fame can witnesse it
And Cauerley at Tilt yet neuer ran,
But foming steed so champed on the bit :
But still my horse his masters valour shewd,
When, through my beavir, I wito heat had blood.

Yet men of armes, of wit, and greatest skill,
Must die at last, when Deaths pale sisters please;
But then, for honour, fame remaineth still,
When dead delights in graue shall find their ease:
Ye long to know the truth, in Fraunce 1 dide,
When from the valiant Polands I did ride,

Now, honour, let me lay me downe againe,
And on thy pillow rest my wearie head;
My passed prayse commaunds my soule remaine,
Wherein these rosie bowers, with sweet dew fcd:
Though I was valiant, yet my guiltlesse blood,
In crueltie of warre I neuer stood,

,

Thus this aduenturous martialist having exprest the zeale of his cone
science towards his countrey, the toyle and labour he sustained, to
better the. credite of his first calling, and the perils he waded through to
patronage the ancient name of citizens; he reposed himselfe againe
downe by the sides of his noble warre- -fellowes.

Thus Fame and Clio,®the one hauing marked his inia partes and
knightly gesture, the other delineated, “with her pen, the eloquence of
his oratour-like oration, questioning togither some fewe poynts, con-
cerning the force of valour, and the vertuous inclination of many ob-
scure persons, that although they lie sepultured, as it were, without
regarde; yet, if oportunitie fitte them to reuiue their courage, will,
Ies the diamend racked out of clay, excell, or, atleast, compare with
the brightnesse of glories. . Rarest iewels concluded, that there was no
pernition, but by vertue; no climbing to honour, but by fortitude;
and none base, abiect, E ignoble, but the vicious, slouthfull, and
faintharted milkesops.. They were not wearyed, nor seemed these
former knights tales tediaus ynto them, although many would thinke it

"a paine to bee tied to the hearing of so large a circumstance, and verie
few but would exclaime it were plaine: slauerie io write such and so
many seuerall conceytes, from the mouthes of the speakers. Yet, such
was their desire to publish these mens deserts, and the delight they tooke
to see the increase spring of the seedes of vertue, forthey would not take
the smallest recreation, till euery one of the nine had fully finished their
discourses, and therefore they attended, when the last would breath the,
secrets of his breast.

This was a prentice as the rest, anda grocer, sometime dwelling in
Cornehill; his face was not effeminate, or his parts of a slender or weake
constitution, but, by his lookes, he seemed couragious, and in the
height, strength, and faire proportion of his body, victorious, Thus,
being in al points armed likea champion, the verie aspect of his out-
warde abite made semblance both of manhood and curtesie, wisedome
and valour, knit in such a simpathie of operation, that he secmed as
much to bee loued for peace, as praysed for prowes. And thus with a
voyce, neyther too meane like a child, nor too big like a gyant, but
indifferent betwixt both, he spake as follow eth :

Henry Maleuerer, Grocer, surnamed Henrie of Cornhill,

A precious cause hath still a rare effect,
And deedes are greatest when the daungers most ;
Ti is no care that trauels dooth neglect,
Norloue that hath respect to idle cost;
A bramble neuer bringeth forth a rose ;
Where fields are fruittull there the lillie growes.

By this coniecture what may be the end,
Of his defensive force that fought for Christ ;
- [tis no common matter, if we spend
Both life and goods in quarrell of the hiest;
The least desert dooth merit his reward,
And best employde should haue not worst regard.

No vaine presumption followes my deuise,
For of my actions t’ isin vaine to boast,
Yet with the Pagans I encountred twise,
To winne againe faire Sion that was lost :
Vato which warre I was not forst to go,
T'was honours fire that did incense me so,

For when the Iews opprest with Heathens pride
Of Christian princes craude some friendly ayd,
In euery countrey they were flat denide, i
Saue that in England here their sute preuailde:
Such was the furie of intestine strife,
All Europe sought to spoyle each others life, -

And as in London there was order tane,
To make prouision for the Holy Land,
My youthfull mind that fearde no forraine bane,
Was so admirde by might of conquering hand:
As fora single combate they did sce,
Th’ ambassadours made speciall choyse of me.

Then for the tankerd I did vse to beare,
And other things belonging to mine art;
Mine hand did weelde Bellonas warlike speare,
For I was armde in steele to play my part:
Along we went to beard our daring foes,
That soone were queld with terrour of our blowes.

Y neuer left the field, norslept secure,
Vntill I sawe Hierusalem regainde;
'To watch and labour I did still endure,
What ist that diligence hath not obtainde?
Yet grudging enuie valour to deface
By treasons malice brought me in disgrace.

The good that I had done was cleane forgot,
Ingratitude preuailde against my life, -
And nothing then but exile was my lot,
Or else abide the stroke of fatal] knife;
For so the ruler of the Iewes concluded,
His grace by false reports was much deluded.

‘There was no striuing in a forraine soyle,
I tooke it patient, thought t'were causelesse done,
And to auoyde the staine of such a foyle,
That slaunderous tongues had wickedly begunne;
Where, to the holy well of Iacobs name,
I found @ caue to shroude me from their blame.

And though my bodie were within their power,
Yet was my minde vntouched of their hate:
The valiant faint not, though that fortune lower,
Nor are they fearefull at controlling fate:
For in that water none couid quench their thirst,
Except he ment to combate with me first.

By that occasion, for my pleasures sake,
I gaue both knights and princes heauie strokes ;
The proudest did presume a draught to take,
Was sure to haue his passeport seald with knocks:
Thus liu'd I till my innocence was knowne,
And then returnde; the King was pensiue growne.

THE LEVELLERS: A DIALOGUE, &c. 193

And, for the wrong which he had offerd me,
He vowde me greater friendship than before ;
My false accusers lost their libertie,
And, next their hues, I could not challenge more:
And thus with loue, with honour, and with fame,
I did returne to London whence I came.

This valerous champion, having here made an end, bowed himselfe,
Then Fame with her owne hand gently laid his head vpona soft downy
pillow wrought with gold, and set with pearle, and so leauing him, and
the rest, tothe happinesse of their sweete sleepe, commanded Clio to claspe
‘vp the booke, wherein she had written the deedes of these nine worthies,
and, as her leysure serued her, to publish it to the viewe of the worlde,
that euery one might read their honourable actions, and take example
by them to follow vertue, and aspire to honour; and the rather, “quoth
she, because I would haue malicious mindes that enuye at the deserts of
noble citizens, by proofe of these meus worthinesse, to repent their con- .
tempt, and amend their captious dispositions, seeing that from the be-
ginning of the world, and in ail places of the world, citizens haue
flourished and beene famous; as in Rome, Cæsar; in Athens, Themi-
stocles; and, in Carthage, Hannibal; with an infinite number more,
that were, by byrth, citizens, by nature martiall, and by industrie
renowned. And so they departed from Elisran; and, within a while
after, Clio, according to the charge was giuen her, sent forth this
pamphlet of her poems,

Honoured Sir,
Our fore-fathers, if not now in being, have passed an act, prohibiting

English cattle, which, I am told, has much raised the price of land
in England. With submission to your better judgment, I think, an -
act, for increasing the breed of Englishmen, would be far more ad-
vantageous to the realm. Some say, That our ships are the walls of
our island; but I say, Our men are the walls, the bulwarks, and
fortresses of our country. You can have no navies, nor armies,
without men; and, like prudent farmers, we ought always to keep
our land well stocked. England never prospered by the importation -
of foreigners, nor have we any need of them, when we can raise a
breed of our own.

What you have here presented, isa discourse of two young ladies, who,
you find, are very willing to comply with such an act, and are ready
to go to work for the good of their country, as soon as they shall have
# legal authority; of which, if you are the happy instrument, you
will have the blessing of ten-thousand damsels, and the thanks of

,

Jove and Sophia, two young ladies of great beauty and wit,
having taken lodsings tegether, this summer, in the country,
diverted themselves in the evenings by walking to a certain shadow,
which they might justly call their own, being frequented by none but
themselves and the harmonious society of the wood. Here they con-
sumed the happy minutes, not in idle chat peculiar to the ladies of the
court and city; they did not dispute the manner of dressing, the beau-
ties and foil of the commode and top-knot, nor the laws and adminis-
tration of the attiring-room. They talked of nobler subjects, of the
beauty and wonderful creation of Almighty God, and of the nature of
man, the Lord of the universe, and of the whole dominions of nature,
Pity itis we cannot procure all that these ladies have so privately, as
they thought, discoursed; but we are very happy jn having what
follows, which came to our knowledge by a mere accident. A gentle-
man, lodging in the neighbourhood, one evening, taking a walk for his
recreation, haply laid himself down bebind a hedge, near the very
shadow frequented by these ladies; he had not lain long, before these
angels appeared at a distauce, and he, peeping through the boughs
(which served as a telescope to bring the divine objects nearer his view)
was extremely ravished with their beauty; but, alas! What was the |
beauty of their faces to that of their minds, discovered to this happy
man by the soft and charming eloquence of their tongues? And no
man in the world was better qualified to give an account of this noble
dialogue, than this person, he being an accurate short-hand writer, and
kad been pupil to Mr. Blainey in that science. and very happily had,
atthat time, pen, ink, and paper about him ; he heard with amazement
their discourse on common affairs, but, when the charming Sophia had

fixed on asubject, he began to write as follows: :

THE LEVELLERS; A DIALOGUE, &e. ‘194

Sophia. My dear sister, how happy are we in this blessed retire-
ment, free from the hurry of the noisy town! Here we can contemplate
on the wonders of nature, and on tbe wisdom of the great founder of
the universe. Do you see how the leaves of this thicket are grown,
since we first retired to its shadow? It now affords us a sufficient
shelter from the heat of the sun, from storms, and rain; see yonder
shrub, what abundance of cyors sprout from its root? See yonder
ewes, with their pretty lambs skipping and dancing by their sides.
How careful is nature to propagate every part of the handy-work of
the Almighty! But you and I, my Politica, are useless creatures, not
answerlng the end of our creation in the propagation of our species, for
which, next the service of our Creator, we came into the world. This
is oursin, and we ought to be transgressors no longer.

Politica. Every creature desires to propagate its species, and nature
dictates to every part of the creation the manner of doing it. The
brute beasts are subservient to this law, and wholly answer the end of
their creation. Now there is the same desire in mankind; but we, who
are endowed with noble faculties, and who have countenances erected
to behold the wonders of God in the firmament of heaven, look so far
into the earth, that we sink beneath the dignity of beasts. In being
averse to generation, we offer violence to the laws of .God and nature
imprinted on our minds. What she can say, that nature does not
prompt her to the propagation of her species? Which, indeed, is one
argument of the immortality of the soul; for the rational faculties
concur with the dictates of nature in this point. We are, as it were,
immortal upon earth, in our surviving children. It is asort of hyper-
bole, but it is as near truth as possibly can be. We are all of us
desirous of life; and, since, being mortal, we cannot for ever inhabit
this glorious world, we are willing to leave our children in possession.

Politica. I cannot agree with you, Madam, that it is our fault we do not
propagate our species, at least, I am sure, it is. none of mine; I am
young, and healthy, and beautiful enough, and nature daily tells‘me
what work I ought to do; the laws of God circumscribe the doing of
it; and yet, notwithstanding my conformity to both, you know, my
circumstances will not admit of marriage.

Sophia, The impulse of nature in me, in that respect, is as great as
it can be in you, but still under the regulations of the strictest rules of
virtue. The end of our creation might be better answered, were not
the matrimonial knot to be tied only by the purse-string. I cansay, Tam
young and beautiful, and that without any vanity. "This Mr. H
knows well enough; he loves me intirely, and, I am sure, had rather
Jive all his life-time with me in a garret, on the scrag-end of a neck of
mutton, than with the lady his father proposes; but the old curmudgeon
will not let his son have the least thoughts of me, because the muck,
my father has left me, will not fill so many dung-carts, as he can fill
. forhis son. It is even true, what the parson said, ‘ Matrimony is be-
come a matter of money.’ This is the reason, that you and I stick on
hand so long, as the tradesmen at London say, when they cannot put off
their daughters. :

Politica, Matrimony is, indeed, become a mere trade; they carry

196 THE LEVELLERS: A DIALOGUE, &c.

their daughters to Smithfield, as they do horses, and sell to the highest
bidder. Formerly, I have heard, nothing went current in the matri-
monial territories, but birth and blood; but, alas! this was in the
antiquated times, when virtue and honour was a commodity in Eng-
land, and when the nobility and gentry were in possession of large
estates, and were content to live upon them, and keep courts of their
own in the country; but, since they abandoned the state and grandeur
of their. fore-fathers, and became courtiers, and extravagantly wasted
their substance in polluted amours in the city, they have no way to
repair the cracks in the estates, but by marrying of lortunes; and, if
the woman be a fortune, it is no matter how she is descended; gold
is the quarry they fly at. l remember some old verses to this pur-

pose:

* Gold marriages makes, "tis the center of love ; -
* It sets up the man, and it helps up the woman:

* By the golden rule, all mortals do move,

* For gold makes lords bow to the brat of a broom-man.

These verses are older than either you, or 1, and yet they are true in
our time, í

Sophia. Aye, madam, too true, I find it so; but, methinks, it is a
mere way of selling children for money, when, poor creatures, they
often purchase what will be a plague to them all their life time, a
cursed ill-natured shrew, or a beasily, ill-conditioned husband. Let
me live a maid to the last minute of my life, rather than thus to lose
my content, my peace of mind, and domestick quiet, and all this for
the inconsiderable trifle of a large bag of money for my portion. Let
the old curmudgeons keep the golden coxcombs, their sons, for the
best market. Heaven send me a spouse, that has sense enough to
despise a bargain in petticoats with abundance of money.and no brains!
Methinks, a Smithfield match is so very ridiculours, that it might
nauseate a half-witted courtier. How ridiculous is it for an old miser
to shew the portion first, and his daughter afterwards! And, when
both parties are agreed upon the price, then miss goes off, coarse or
handsome, good orill-natured, itis no matter. I fancy, an old miser,
exposing his daughter to sale, looks like a country farmer selling his
white-faced calf in the market, or likea grasier enhancing the price of a
ragged,~scrubby ox, from the consideration of abundance of tallow he
will turn out Even just such a thing is a Smithfield match; and, as
soon as the miser has struck the bargain for his daughter, away he goes
to the parson's toll-book, and there is an end of the matter. i

Politica. Jt is even so; but it isa cursed wicked way of wedding;
it is perfect kidnapping children in the marriage plantations. This
practice is contrary to the laws of nature and God. ‘Those pretty birds,
you now hear singing over our heads, last Valentine’s Day, chose every
one his mate, without the direction, or approbation. of their parents,
The scripture says (I think it is in the sixth of Genesis, and the second
verse) That ‘ the sons of God saw the daughters of men, that they were
fair; and they took them wives of all which they chose? Do but mind

THE LEVELI.ERS: A DIALOGUE, &c' 197

this text of scripture, it is very much to our purpose; it is not there
said, That the sons of God saw the daughters of men, that they had
abundance of money, but they were fair, i. e. they were such as were
beautiful and "lovely. This was the attractive of courtship, It is not
here said, that the old misers, as now, carried their sons and daughters
to marriage-fair, and swopped one for the other, with so much money
and the vantage; but here the sons are left to chuse themselves wives,
and they chose such as were fair, even just such as my beautiful

"Sophia. And let me make this farther remark, That, for chusing such

wives, they are called the ‘Sons of God’. Hence it naturally follows,
That whosoever do chuse wives after any other manner are the sons of
the Devil; and thus the young sold couple are the son and daughter of
the devil, and the old miser, that sold them, is the devil's brother-in-
law, and so they are matched into a very fine family.

Sophia. Truly, sister, [ am apt to think, God Almighty has
nothing to do with such matches, though we have a common proverb
in England, * That matches are made in heaven; I can truly say, as’
the country wench did, * They area long time in coming down. I have
waited for one a great while to no purpose ; my money will not grow to
the height of a husband, though I water it with tears, and air it with
sighs; but, prithee, sister, let us contrive some way or other how to
remove this great evil, this grievance of celibacy, under which the
nation groancth. I can take it to be nothing less than a national judg-
ment, whenour men, the strength of our kingdom, are daily consumed
and wasted away by the wars, and there is no care taken of a supply.
Our ships and armies, in a short time, will want soldiers; i ut tiis is
none of our fault; you and I would endeavour at a race of heroes for
the service of our country, if we could come honestly at the instru-
ments which make them.

Politica. It is very true; but the remedy: In the first place, sister,
let us consider the causes of the evil, and then the remedy. Begin,
madam, let me hear your opinion of the cause of this evil.

Sophia. None fitter than your judicious self to lead the way in this
argument. But, however, madam, I will obey your command; and I
think it is a wantof virtue both in young men and women, that is the
chief cause of this destructive evil.

Out of civility to the man, I will begin first with our own sex. I
am ashamed, and blush to speak it, how many lewd creatures there
are of our sex both in the town and country; were there not so many
whores, there would be more wives. The vicious sort of men are by
them kept from marrying; for it is mere virtue must confine a man toa
married state, where he has an uninterrupted converse with womankind
as seldom and as often as he pleases, without confinement to any pàr- -
ticular person or temper. This made a nobleman say, that “ Two
things could never be wanted in London, a wife and a watch; because
one may have a whore, and see what it isa clock, at the end of every
street,” ;

The numerous company of strumpets and harlots, in London, makes
the lewd sort of men out of love with matrimony. Nay, I have heard

~ them say, “ There is no "woman honest after the age of fifteen.” I kaow

198 ‘THE LEVELLERS: A DIALOGUE, &c.

they are lyars; but, I am sorry to say it, they have too much reason
to be out of love with our sex. “Sometimes I myself am almost of their
opinion, especially when I consider how shamefully some lewd women -
prostitute themselves to every rascally porter and boy. And I think it
more abominable in the women than the men, for nature has given us
more modesty; and, did not the whores ply in the streets, the leacher
could never stumble over them.

The men, they are grown full as effeminate as the women; we are
rivalled by them even in the fooleries peculiar to our sex. They dress
like anticks and stage-players, and are as ridiculous as monkies. ‘They
sit in monstrous long perukies, like so many owls in ivy-bushes; and
esteem themselves more upon the reputation of being a beau, than om
the substantial qualifications of honour, courage, learning, and judg-
ment. If you heard them talk, you would think yourself at a gossip-
ping at Dover, or that you heard the learned confabulation of the boys
in the piazza’s of Christ’s-Hospital. Did you ever see a creature more
ridiculous than that stake of humane nature which dined the other day
at our house, with his great long wig to cover his head and face, which’
was no bigger than an Hackney-turnep, and much of the saine form
and shape? Bless me how it looked! just like a great platter of French
soup with a little bit of flesh in the middle. Did you mark the beau
tiff of his wig, what a deal of pains he took to toss it back, when the
very weight thereof was like to draw him from his seat? Did vou not
take notice how he replenished his snout with snuff, and what pains he
took to let us know thatit was Vigo? Did you not wonder at his
learned discourse of the womens accoutrements, from the top-knot to
the laced shoe; and what lectures he read on the fan, masque, and
gloves? He understood ribbons and silk as well as a milliner and’
mercer, and was a perfect chymist in beauty washes and essences,
In short, madam, did you ever see a more accomplished coxcomb in
all vour life? j

Now, my dear, though I must acknowledge our sex to be extraor-
dinary vicious, we will not knock under-board to the men; we have
yet more virture left among us than they can match. For though, to
our great shame, we are degenerated in one respect, to our commend-
ation we are improved in another. We never bad, in any age, women
of better parts, of greater virtue, and more knowledge. Learning and
wit seem to have forsaken the masculine dominions, and to have taken
up their abode in the feminine territories. And, indeed, the men are
so wickedly degenerated, that learning, virtue, courage, and conduct
seem to be unnecessary accomplishments; for they signify nothing as
to their preferment, but they make their fortunes as they make their
wives, by money. And truly, madam, we have no great occasion to
boast that we have supplanted the men of their virtue, for we have got
that from them which did them no service, and which we must con-
ceal, or else be laughed at for shewing it. However, madam, let us
admire virtue, which gives that inward contentment, which all the
riches of the world cannot purchase.

Politica. think, my dear Sophia, the parents are as much the
cause of celibacy as the children, by breeding them above their quality

a tradesman, and lived very well by his traffick; and, I being beauti-
ful, he thought nature had already given me part of my portion, and
therefore he would add a liberal education, that I might be a compleat
gentlewoman. Away he sent me to the boarding-school; there I learned.
to dance aud sing, to play on the bass-viol, virginals, spinnet, and gui-
tair. I learned to make wax-work, japan, paint upon glass, to raise
paste, make sweet-meats, sauces, and every thing that was genteel and
fashionable. My father died, and left me accomplished, as you find
me, with three-hundred pounds portion; and, with all this, I am not
able to buy an husband. A man, that has an estate answerable to my
breediag, wants a portion answerable to his estate; an honest tradesman,
that wants a portion of three-hundred pounds, has more occasion of a
wife that understands cookery and housewifery, than one that under-
stands dancing, and singing, and making of sweet-meats. The portion,
which nature gave me, proves now my detriment; my beauty is an
obstacle to my marriage; an honest shop-keeper cannot keep a wife to
look upon. * Beauty, say they, is likea tavern bush, it is hung out in
the face toshew what commodity is to be sold ;' it is.but like an honey-pot,
which will fill a house with bees and wasps; and the poor tradesman, '
that has such a wife, will dream of nothing but horns, as long as he has
her; so that, madam, I conclude, our parents are great causes of this
evil, in educating their children beyond their estates.

Sophia. But liow would you order the matter with one in my cir-
cumstances? My father, when I was born, was a gentleman of a plen-
tiful estate, and gave me education according to tne portion he designed
me; but he, being a true Englishman, joined with the Duke of Mon-
mouth in the recovery of our rights, which, he then thought, were in
danger; and, in that enterprise, he lost his life and estate, and so I lost
my portion, and have nothing to subsist on, but the charity of my
good aunt. I can marry nothing but a gentleman, and very few, ifany
of them, are inclined to marry the poor remains of an honpurahle, and
virtuous family. What can I do?

Politica. Truly, my dear, our cases are both desperate; we cannot
come up to good estates, and gentlemen of good estates will not come
down to us. I have often wondered, that there are no compulsive laws
inforcing matrimony, but that, instead thereof, there are laws dis-
couraging of marriage, as is the act for births and burials, especially to
the poorer sort of people, who are generally the greatest breeders; for,
by this’ act, when there is a certain charge to a family, there is a
certain duty to the Queen. Now, if there was a law inforcing of
matrimony, it would more effectually answer the end of her Majesty's
pious proclamations for the encouragement of virtue, and for the sup-
pressing of all manner of immorality and profaneness. For such a law
would put a stop to abundance of whoring; it would make the women
virtuous, on purpose to get good husbands, and the men thrifty and
diligent in their callings, in order to maintain their families. The ruin
both of body, soul, and estate proceeds from this omission in our laws.
Iam sure, a law of this nature would not only be acceptable in the
sight of God, but it would be very advantageous to the kingdom.

Sophia. I am very well satisfied in the truth of what you say, but,

200 THE LEVELLERS: A DIALOGUE, &c,

‘at the same time I do not think a law compulsive of marriage reasons
able in all respects; there are a sort of monsters of men, called wo-
men-haters; these brutes would be destroyed by this act. Nature also
has excluded, by its deficiencies, some men from the state of matri-
mony; others are of such monstrous ill-humours, that they can match
no where but in the nunnery of Billingsgate; therefore, madam, if you
get this act passed, it must contain many proviso’s and exceptions.

Politica. Not in the least; I would have it a general compulsive act,

after this manner: Every batchelor, at the age of twenty-four years,
should pay sucha tax to the queen ; suppose it twenty shillings per an-
num for the meanest rank of men, and what the parliament thinks fit
for those of higher degree. Every widower, which has been so upwards
of one year, and is under the age of fifty years, to pay the same sum,
Now, according to computation, we have seen millions of men in Eng-
land, and, suppose two millions of the seven be batchelors and widow-
ers, qualified as before, according to their several ranks and qualities
taxed by act of parliament, they will pay into the queen’s exchequer,

early, the sum of two millions five hundred thousand pounds sterling,
which will be almost enough to defray the charge of the war by land
and sea.

The reasonableness of the act is plain, for that unmarried people are,
as it were, useless to the state; they are, like drones in a hive, reaping
the advantage of other people's labours; they have their liberties and
freedoms secured by the loss of other men's lives, and do not, from their
own loins, repair the native strength of the kingdom; they are not so
good as the spider, which hangs in the loom drawn from her own bow-
els: On the other hand, it is reasonable to ease such in taxes, as have
numerous families to the advantage of the commonwealth ; for these
are at daily charge in eon up thcir issue for the defence and safety
of the kingdom.

Sophia. Your notions are very good and proper; but how will you
be able to put them into practice? I hope you will not sollicit this bill
yourself at the house of commons; you ought to have some way or
other to communicate it to some particular member, that he may bring
itin, as his own, and get a good reward for his pains from the court.
Do not you remember, Mrs. Murray told us, the other day, how her
husband was served about his project of exchequer bills? "They got it
to themselves, and did not give the honest gentleman one groat for his
invention. Now, madam, if you could make yourself a portion by
their making an act, you would do very well, you would serve your-
self and your country; but, if this act passeth, I do not find, that you
and [ shall be the better for it, for the men are still left to the liberty
of chusing, and they will chuse for the best portions; we are no nearer
the marriage-bed than before. Pray think of some cu act,
that may inforce them to marry me and you.

Politica. If will be very difficult to get a particular clause in our
favour, it will cost us,at least, our MONTE ; and then, you know,
we need not much trouble our heads about matrimony, we need not .
shut the stable-door when the steed is stolen. Pray, madam, let me

THE LEVELLERS: A DIALOGUE, &c. 201

‘hear how you would have it for your own advantage? It is now your
turn to propose.

Sophia. Nature has made all things on a level; our first father made
no jointure in marriage, nor had our first mother any portion. Adam
was lord, and Eve was mistress of the universe; and we ought to tread
in the steps of our lady mother, and bring our husband no more than
what nature hath given us. Settlements and portions never came into
custom, till such time as marder and rapine had entered the world, and
dowries were first brought into fashion by the posterity of Cain. The
hellish miser, which the other day made so many scruples about my
portion, did you not observe the mark of Cain in his forehead? The
match-brokers look just like the wandering Jews in England, followed
by the curse of God into all countries where they come.

Now, it is an easy matter for the parliament of England to bring mars
riages on the same level, as was designed at first by nature. I will pro-
pose how: Suppose every gentleman of one thousand pounds per annum,
was obliged to marry gentlewomen of such quality and portion with
ourselves, and, if he would not marry at all, his estate should become
forfeited to the use of the publick.

Politica. That would be hard, to take away all a man has in the

` world, because he will:not marry.

Sophia. We will then find a medium: Suppose we build and endow
them an alms-house with their own money, where every one of them
shall have a convenient apartment, with a bed, and two pair of sheets,
one chair, one candlestick, a chamber-pot, and fire-place, and some

_other cheap necessaries. We will allow them one coat a year, with a
yellow badge on the arm, as the mark of a batchelor ; and every ten cf
them shall have one lal woman to wait upon them: They shall be
chiefly fed with water-gruel, and barley-broth; and, instead of meat,
they shall eat potatoes, Jerusalem artichokes, turneps, carrots, and par-
snips; for you know they come into that hospital, because they do not
love flesh.

Politica. Oh! fye madam, fye upon you! that would use brisk
young gentlemen at such a cruel rate: This is downright tyranny.

Sophia. I am sorry to see you so tender of those, who are so cruel to
our sex: But here is no cruelty at all in the case; consider the thing
rightly, madam, and you will find it otherwise. Weesteem it the highest
charity to provide alms-houses for the antient superannuated poor, who
are past their labour ; now a man that is not come to his labour of ge-
neration, at twenty-five years of age, is certainly past it, and we ought
to reckon him as superannuated, and grown an old boy, and not fit to
be trusted with what he has, as not knowing the use and benefit of
riches.

What Isay, in this respect, is the common practice of mankind in
things of another nature. The husbandman, if he has got a tree in
his orchard, that has grown a long time, and has bore no fruit, he cuts
him down for fuel, and plants another in his room: Why may we not
do the same by the human batchelor trees ; especially, since they are
grafted on so good stocks, and are so well watered and pruned ? That

-às a very ill sort of seed that will fructify in no soil, dt is the same

YOL, XII, o

202 THE LEVELLERS: A DIALOGUE, &c.

thing in government; a batchelor is a useless thing in the state, docs
but cumber the ground, and takes up the room of a generous plant,
which would be of great advantage to the commonwealth. F tell you,
madam, according to the laws of nature and reason, a batchelor is a
minor, and ought to be under the government of the parish in which he
lives; for, though he be a housekeeper and for himself, as they call it,
yet, having no family, he cannot be reckoned a good commonwealth's
man; and if he is not a good one, he is à bad one, which ought not
to be suffered ; nay, he is not a perfect man till such time as he is
married, for it is the woman is the perfection of the man.

Politica. Madam, I know you are endowed with true English prin-
ciples; pray consider, whether the law you mention be not destructive
of Magna Charta, since, without cause or offence, it deprives a man
of his property, and takes from him the estate which legally descended
to him from his ancestors.

Sophia. Madam, I find you hold me to hard meat, I must give
reasons for the passing of my bill: f argue thus, a person who has
broken, and forfeited his right to the Magna Charta of nature,
ought to have no protection by the Magna Charta of Englishmen. I
prove my proposition thus; A batchelor of age, as such, has broken the
laws of nature: Increase and multiply is the command of nature, and
of the God thereof; now, having broken the laws of nature, he ought
not to have any protection from the laws of England, because such,
as have protection by those laws, do contribute to the support of those
laws, which an adult batchclor does not do according to the constitu-
tion of Magna Charta. Our forefathers purchased the liberties of Mag-
na Charta, with the hazard of life and limb; they sealed that writing
with the blood of themselves and their children, and, after the same
manner those privileges were procured, must they be supported and
maintained. Now a batchelor contributes little or nothing to the sup-
port of our freedoms; the money he pays in taxes is inconsiderable to
the supplies given by others in children, which are an addition to the
native strength of the kingdom: Money is like the soft and easy show-
ers, which only cool and moisten the surface of the earth ; children are
like the soaking rain which goes to the root, and makes trees and vege-
tables fructify for the use of man: Indeed, my dear, a batchelor can,
in no sense, be esteemed a good Englishman.

From the reasons aforesaid, I cannot think the batchelors are injured
by my bill. Acts of parliament ought not to respect private interests ;
they are made for the good of the community, for the advantage of the
whole people of England, and you shall seldom find any act passed,
but what 1s to the detriment of some particular persons. We thought
it no injustice to prohibit the importation of East India silks, notwith-
standing the detriment thereby accrued to that company; and perhaps
put all the ladies im court and city into the mulligrubs. These things -
tbe good parliament never considered, but passed the bill in favour of
the multitude of weavers in this kingdom, who get abundance of chil-
dren for the support of the nation, and which must have starved, if fo-
reign commodities had been imported to the destruction of the weaving
trades That batchelors, that would come under this statute, are but -

THE LEVELLERS: A DIALOGUE, &e. 203

an inconsiderable number, compared with the aggregate sum of the
whole kingdom.

Politica. Suppose, madam, your reasons should weigh with the
house of commons: There is another sort of batchelors, that answer
the end of their creation, and yet are not married; l mean such as
multiply their species on misses and concubines, which, in plain Eng-
lish, are whores : Nay, they can content themselves to do it with their

` female servants, who serve under them for that purpose; these will find
a way to creep out, if you do not bind your act very close.

Sophia. That is well thought on, upon my virginity! It is true,
these are a dangerous sort of creatures; concubinage and whoring are
grievous sins, both in the sight of God and man; and the divine laws,
as also the laws of England, are very strict against such offenders, and
yet you see they do not find holes to creep through and escape punish-
ment. But the law I propose will tie them fast; for, do but observe it;
madam, those laws are best executed, that bring money into the exche-
quer; every one would be a fisherman, if the fishes came like St. Peter's,
with money in their mouths. I dare engage I will sooner get a warrant
to search for prohibited uncustomed goods, or to seize a brewer's cop-
per for non-payment of excise, than I can prepare a warrant to search
a bawdy-house. Do but once make it appear, that godliness is gain,
ənd I will warrant you a thorough reformation of manners. Now my
act does this thing to a T; I make men honest and virtuous, and, by
doing so, I make the government rich, and ease the subjects in the bur-
den of taxes. And I dare engage, if ever you see my bill passed the
royal assent, you^will find it well executed.

Politica. That is according to the honesty and virtue of the com-
missioners and assessors, appointed for that purpose; if they are not
virtuous and honest, they may lessen your tax, and cause a deficiency.
This has been the effect of letting landed-men assess landed-men, and
tradesmen assess stock; when, if a tradesman had assessed land, and
a landed-man bad assessed trade, being so very different in interest, they
would have raised the fund to the height. Therefore, my dear sister,
be cautious in this point, take my advice, 1am your senior; let no old
fornicator be an assessor, commissioner, or collector of your duty; he,

.that has in his time loved a bit of old hat, will be tender in punishing
the sin of his youth. With him exclude all such as were batchelors be-
fore the passing of the act; they will suffer, nay, contrive a deficiency,
that the act may be repealed. In short, let none be concerned in the as-
sessing or collecting of this duty, but such as have many years lived
with their wives in conjugal chastity, and by them have a very nume-
rous issue ; these, I will warrant you, will take care to bring the utmost
penny into the exchequer.— Dut pray, how do you design to punish
such of this sort of batchelors, that will not comply with your act? I
hope you will allow them a separate maintenance ; you will build them
an alms-house also, will you not?

Sophia. As the others are used like fools and superannuated persons,
so we will use these like madmen. We will build them a convenient
bedlam, wherein every one of them shall be chained about the middle
io a post, like a monkey; we will feed them with low diet, as the

/ 02

204: THE LEVELLERS: A DIALOGUE, &é

others, and once a month they shall be blooded and shaved. "To ag-
gravate their crime, we will make every one of them a Tantalus, by
brineing every day handsome ladies before them, who shall laugh and
jeer at them, and then turn their backs upon them.

Politica. I protest, madam, you are very cruel: Would you be will-
ing to be served so yourself?

"Sophia. Yes, sister, when I refuse matrimony upon good and equal
terms: Pray, ub they not do the same by us? Are not we daily pre~
sented with the sight of batchelors of good estates, who come to us
under pretence of lawful courtship, to prosecute an unlawful amour?
They come to us like butterflies to flowers, to spit maggots on us, and
then leave us to be devoured by infamy and scandal: There is no pu-
nishment bad enough for these monsters of men; I would fain have m
will upon them one way or other, either by marrying them all out of
hand, or by punishing them for living single.

Politica. I do indeed think a levelling of marriages is the most rea-
sonable thing in the world; mankind is en a level in all things but this;
one man has wit and wants money ; another has money and wants wit ;
a third has strength, and wants both money and wit; one is poor and
contented with his condition ¢ ; another has no peace of mind, nor satis-
-faction, amidst all his riches, but is, amongst his bags of money, as a
person in Little Ease or Bridewell; so that nature seems to have design»
eda level, only we raise mountains and hills on purpose to deface the
works of nature. But, sister, here's one thing yet to be considered,
that there are several young gentlemen born to good fortunes, who
would marry me or you; but ‘they are kept from it by the advice of
their parents. Now, though I would have such punished as are un-
married with good estates in their own possession, yet would I have
some respect to those who would and cannot: There is Mr.
he, often gives me visits, he loves my company, his eyes talk of love,
which is more than his tongue durst so much as mention; for he tells
me, the beldam his mother, and the old curmudgeon his father, have
made a resolution, that he shall never marry but with a woman of five-
thousand pounds fortune: But, says he, if they die, I'll marry where I
please. They may live a long time, and, if L should stay for bim, by
that time beauty may have lost its charms; and some younger Phillis,
or other, may interpose and get the prize from me. For love, madam,
is the most fickle and changeable thing in the world : My wit will last
aslong as my virtue, and both these are not lessened but improved by
age. Butdid you ever know a man that loved a woman for virtue and
wit? No, there are other attractives which make so great a sound in
the world, that they drown the low voice of virtue and wit.

Sophias I would have these old folks, that hinder their children
irom matrimony, as severely punished as the old batchelors: The fa-
bulous punishment of leading apes in hell is not enough; I would have
them punished even in this life, I pray God send them some such dis:
temper as the pox ; which, in this life, is the punishment of adulterers
and whoremongers: Nay, sometimes they are caught and pay dear
enough for their trifling with the years of youth, and not entering the

THE LEVELLERS :. A’ DIALOGUE, &c. 205

bounds of matrimony, till the time of their doatage. I will tell you a
-very pretty and true story ;

A certain doctor of divinity of the university, aged about sixty years,
from the profits of a good benefice, and other comfortable church emo-
luments, together with a thrifty life, had acquired an estate of five-
hundred pounds per annum; but the pious churchman, being ‘still
desirous of a larger share of the good things of this life, thought of ways
and means of aggrandising his fortune, No better way could he think
on than marriage; for, he having lived a batchelor, aud, by his indus-
try, procured such an estate, he thought his spiritual and temporal en-
dowments deserved a considerable fortune. Atter he had made many
enquiries among his friends and acquaintance for a suitable help-mate,
called a wife, with a sufficient quantity of money, he pitched upon a jus-
tice of the peace's daughter, about ten miles distant from his own habit-
ation, The young gentlewoman was about sixteen years of age, and
had ten thousands: pounds portion. Her money made an atonement
for her want of years, for the bags and the girl were just old enough
for the doctor.

As soon as the doctor had intelligence of this young lady, he pursues
the notion with all the vehemence imaginable; and hereupon one day
at dinner he breaks bulk to, his man John, and tells him of his design of
wedding, and orders him to get his horse ready the next morning early,
and likewise another for himself, to accompany him part of the way,
which he accordingly did; and, after John had travelled with him about
half way, he was dismissed by the doctor, who travelled on by himself
till within a mile of the justice's house, where seeing an old hedger in
the way, he asked him, if he knew esquire . .He told him, yes,
he had reason so to do, for he had been his servant above thirty years;
and that he had married his wife out of the family, who was also an old
servant of the squire's. Well then, says the doctor, you must needs
know his daughter, Mrs. Anne. Yes, I think I do, says the hedger, she's
a fine young gentlewoman, and my master can give her a power of mo-
ney: I will tell you what, doctor, I understand trap; Í fancy you have
a mind to Mrs. Anne. Why, replies the doctor, what if I have; what
then? Why then, says the hedger, my master being a hugy rich man,
and my mistress a young woman, he may think you both too old, and
not rich enough: And therefore, doctor, if I might advise you, I would
first have you see how you like the girl; itis good to look before you
leap. Which way can I do that, quoth tfe doctor? Oh, quoth the
old man, let me alone, I can contrive that well enough. Hereupon
the doctor gives him a broad-piece, telling him, he found he could do
him a kindness; and that, if he did it, he should never want, for he had
five-hundred pounds a year, besides spiritual preferments. Aye, says
the old man, I have often heard of you. I do not question but we shall
bring the matter about: my master has a great respect for the church.
Pray, Sir, go a little farther to my house, and I will give you a cup of
the best, and some good bread and cheese, and there we will consider
farther of the matter. I will warrant we will contrive the business well
enough.

With all my heart, says the doctor. Away goes the doctor more

03

206 THE LEVELLERS: A DIALOGUE, &c.

freely than to church, and the hedger as if he were going to the wed-
ding. When they were come to the house, and eating the best it af-
forded; says the countryman, master doctor, if I could get mistress
Aune to my house, would not that do well? Rarely well, quoth the
doctor, if you can but compass it: But does she ever come hither?
Very often, says the old man, to see her old servants. But how will
you contrive it? says the doctor. Leave that to me, quoth the hedger.
Away goes the old fellow, and enters into discourse with his wife ; says
he to her, I am minded to put a trick upon the doctor: The good
wife in a passion replies, youS——————, you old fool, you put a trick
on a great man of the church! Hold your tongue, Goody Simpleton,
says the old man; I find the great doctors bred at the versity have no
more wit than we country folk: Get you gone immediately to the
squire's, and take my daughter Joan along with you, and pray Mrs.
Anne to dress her in her best cloaths, for there is a gentleman at our
house desires to see her in such a habit. Now you must understand
their daughter Joan was about the same age and stature with Mrs.
Anne, and had a great deal of beauty, obscured by homely country
weeds, and she had by nature a pretty stock of the mother wit of the
knave her father. Away trudges the old woman with Joan her daugh-
ter: Her request was no sooner asked but granted, and Joan was pre-
sently turned into a little angel, by the help of Mrs. Anne’s accoutre-
ments. ‘The doctor, you may be sure, waited with much impatience
all this while; sometimes in hopes, and other times in despair. But the
hedger, standing with his face towards the way, at length espies his wife
and Mrs. Anne (for that must be the name of Joan at present) coming
towards the house. The old man begs leave of the doctor to go and meet
Mrs. Anne, and conduct her to the house, which he did presently, by
running cross a field; he made abundance of scrapes and cringes to
madam Anne, with his hat in his hand, and then, stepping behind her
like a footman, be followed her home all the way, instructing her how
to manage herself in this weighty concern.

When they came to the house the doctor receives her with abund-
ance of ceremony ; the countryman also made some rustick bows and
compliments, and tells her, it was a great favour in her ladiship to
come in a visit to her poor old servants, and humbly intreats the favour
of her to sit down ; for, though the gentleman present was a stranger to
her ladiship, he was a person of quality, a learned and rich doctor of
the church, who, in humihty, peculiar to the clergy, had vouchsafed
to give so poor a man as hea visit. With much coyness madam Anne
sits down, and, having made a bow from her seat to the doctor, she
asked her old servants, how they did. The doctor being smitten with
the visible part of Mrs. Anne's portion, and ruminating on the invi-
sible; the old man thought it was time to retire, which he did, by
leaving a scrape or two on the earthen floor with his foot,

The doctor had now what he came for, and to work he gees. He had
forgot Thomas Aquinas, Dunce Scotus, and other unintelligible cramp
authors. Philosophy signiries nothing in an amour, and logick of itself
is enough to curdle a virgin's milk; therefore the doctor accosted her
with all the soft expressions he could remember in Ovid de Arje Aman-

THE LEVELLERS: A DIALOGUE, &c. 207

ai, which, the learned say, is the only way to know to resolve the diffi-
cult questions in Aristotle's problems; and, the girl having heat of beau-
ty enough at that age to warm a stoick, by the vehement attraction
thereof the doctor joined countenances; but never did a poor young
lady receive kisses after a more modest and coy manner; and well
might she blush at such an exercise; for the poor creature never smclt
man before, and it was the first time that ever she saw the doctor.

After the doctor and Mrs. Anne had been above an hour together, in
steps the old man. The girl she modestly retires, as well for instruction
as to give an account how things went. In the mean time, the old man
asks the doctor how he liked the lady, and what encouragement she
gave him? ‘The doctor, being ravished with the visible and invisible
qualificztions of Mrs. Anne, expressed abundance of satisfaction, and
how happy a man he should be if he could obtain his prize. Says the
old man, At her again, Mr. Doctor, she is a brave good-humoured lady,
and I told her sufficiently what you are: Says the doctor, prithee canst
not thou get us something good to eat and drink ; here’s money, if thou
canst. Away goes the old man, but first got Mrs. Anne into the room
with.the doctor, which was done with many intreaties, and performed
with a wonderful modesty.

We will leave the doctor and Mrs. Anne hard at«work on the anvil of
courtship, whilst the old woman and her husband are getting supper
ready, which they were so long about, that it grew late, and Mrs, Anne
was just going. The doctor, you may be sure, intreated her to stay; and
the old man and woman sollicited very hard on the satne account, tell-
ing the lady, that they had nothing worthy of her acceptance, but the
honour she would do them, now they had a great doctor of the church
at their house, would be very greate In short, they argued so much,
that Mrs. Anne was at length prevailed upon to stay; the old man
whispers the doctor, that he had kept supper back on purpose that he
might have the more of the young lady’s company, and therefore ad-
vised him to make the best use of his time. Certainly, never any young
lady made her lover so happy at the first interview; to work goes the
doctor, he courts like a dragon; with an irresistible fury he lets fly
whole vollies of bombaste rhetorick at her head, enough to beat a poor
country girl’s brains out; no stone did he leave unturned, but persists
in his courtship, till interrupted by the old man’s bringing in the sup-
per, which, we may imagine, could not be less than a couple of cocks
with bacon, and it is well, if the fowls did not come out of the squire’s
coop, as well as the cloaths out of his daughter's wardrobe.

Down sits the doctor, having first placed Mrs. Anne at the upper end
of the table, and, having said a short grace, he desired the old couple
to sit down, as did also Mrs. Anne. But they refused it, saying, they
should not be so impudent as to set at table chick by chowle with a
great doctor of the church, and their Mrs. Anne, who agreed with the
doctor to make them both sit down, which at last they did, in confor-
mity to the church and their mistress ; and so they all fell heartily to
pecking till they had consumed the whole provision.

Supper being over, the old man asks his wife in the next room, what
time of night it was; the old woman replied, it was past eight of the

0 4

208 THE LEVELLERS: A DIALOGUE, &c.

clock; at which, the old man fell into a violent passion, and scolded
horribly at his wife, for not taking notice how the time went away.
The doctor, hearing this combustion: comes to know the meaning of
it. The old man tells him, he is undone for ever; he has kept Mrs.
Anne here so late that she is locked out of doors, her family being
always in bed by eight of the clock, and that, on this account, the
’squire will turn him out of his serviee, by which he got his livelihood.
The doctor pacifies him, by telling him, that, since Sthis thing must
happen on his account, he nor his Wife should never want as loi as ke
lived. Well, says the old man, Mr. Doctor, since you are such a
charitable man, I will put you in a way to do your business at once;
if you should apply yourself to the squire, he will hardly be brought
to terms; for, though you have a good estate, yet 1 know the ’squire
will marry my mistress to a young man; and seeing you have now a
fair opportunity, having the night before you, try to get her consent,
and take her away with you by three or four in the, morning to some
parson of your acquaintance, and marry her. My master will be soon
reconciled, for he has no other child to inherit his estate. A good
thought, says the doctor, and I will try what can be done in the case.

You may be sure, madam, now the doctor attacks the lady with all
the fury imaginable; tne silence of the night and want of sleep, as I
have heard those skilled in love affairs say, are great advantages to an
invading lover; these are the best times in which to storm a lady's
fortress. "This, I suppose, the doctor well enough knew, and there-
fore carried on the siege with vigour. and, betore three in the morning,
the young lady had capitulated, and surrendered upon articles; which
the doctor tells the old man of with abundance of pleasure, who, you
may be sure, bids the doctor joy. ‘The doctor desires the old man to.
get him a pillion, which, indeed, the old man had before provided ;
and away goes the doctor and his lady, and were that day married.

The doctor did not stay long at the place of marriage, but privateiy
returns to his own house, where he acquainted some of his friends of
his enterprise, who highly applauded his ingenuity; but he enjoined
them ail to secrecy for some time. The doctor daily expected a hue
and cry after Mrs. Anne; but, hearing nothing of it, he concluded the
servants had some how or other concealed the story from her father;
but his friends advised him by all means to go to the justice, and
acquaint him with what he had done with his daughter, and beg his
pardon for so doing, as a means of reconciliation.

The doctor understanding the justices of the peace were to meet that
day about some particular business in the town; he went to enquire for
the justice, whom he only knew by sight, and the justice had no other
knowledge of the doctor. -The doctor, in his best Pontificalibus’s, comes
to the place of meeting, which was an inu, and asks the drawer, whe-
ther esquire — was there; who answered, he was, He bids him
shew him a room, and go tell the esquire, that doctor ———— desired
tespeak with him; the esquire desires the doctor to come to him and
the rest of the gentlemen, they having at that juncture no business
before them; but the doctor sends word again that his business was
private, and he intreated the esquire to come to him, upon which the

THE LEVELLERS: A DIALOGUE, &c. 209

esquire comes. The doctor he falls on his knees, and begs his pardon;
the esquire was surprised, as knowing nothing of the matter, and, being
unwilling to be homaged by the church, he desires the doctor to rise,
or otherwise he would talk no farther with him. — 'The doctor refused to
do it till such time as he had his pardon. The esquire, knowing of no
offence, freely gave him a pardon ; ; which done, the doctor arises, telling
him, he was sorry that one in his coat should be guilty of such a crime.
The esquire, being still in the dark, replied, he knew no crime he was
guilty of: Sir, says the doctor, I have married your daughter: Married
my daughter, says the esquire, you are certainly mistaken, doctor. It
is certainly true, says the doctor. Says the esquire in a great passion,
How long. have you been married to my daughter? I have lain with
her these three nights, says the doctor: Says the esquire, you are
strangely mistaken, doctor, for I left my daughter at home this morn-
‘ing. Says the doctor. you are strangely imposed upon by your servants,
therefore be so kind as to go to my house and see your daughter, who is
there at this present. The esquire, in an odd sort of confusion, goes
along with him to the house, and, being conducted into the parlour
where madam sat in state on her couch, the esquire burst out into a
fit of laughter, and, going to the lady, salutes her, and wishes her much
joy, and then told the doctor the mistake; for, says he, this lady is my
servant ————— the hedger's daughter Joan, dressed in my daughter's
cloaths. The doctor, being astonished for some time, recovers himself,
comes up to her, takes her in his arms, and, kissing Tr, says, If Hot
art Joan, I will love thee as wellas if thou hadst been Mrs. Anne. And,
for aught I know, she made him as good a wife; for, though she per-
fectly kidnap ped the old child, yet they lived very comfortably toge-
ther.

Poltica. I can nick your story with one of a clergyman, that was as
indifferent about a portionas yours was curious. Mr. G 1a
minister in Suffolk, and of a considerable estate, lived without thoughts
of marriage, till the age of fifty years; at which time one of his parish-
ioners put him in thoughts of matrimony. He said he had been so
intent on his studies, that he never thought of a wife; but that now, if
he could find out a good one he would marry. ‘The gentleman told him,
such a person about twelve miles off had three daughters, either of
which would make him a good wife, but their fortunes were Hut small.
The parson said, he knew. the gentleman very well ,but did not know he
had any daughters; and, as for money, that was a thing he did not
value. The parson, in a short time, gives the gentleman a visit, who
made him very welcome, not knowing the design of his coming; but
the parson told him, that he heard he “had three | daughters, and one of
them would make him a good wife. "The gentleman replied, he had
three daughters, and that he hoped they would prove to the satisfaction
of any person who should marry them, and told him either of them was
at hisservice. The parson said, they were all alike to him; but, since
it was usual to marry the eldest first, he would take her; the gentle-
man replied with all his heart. Upon which the eldest daughter was
called in. 'The parson, sitting in his chair, and smoaking his pipe,
told her, he had heard she would make him a good wife. The young

210 THE LEVELLERS: A DIALOGUE, &c.

lady, surprised, told him, she did not know that, but did believe she
should be a good wife to any one that should marry her. The parson
put the grand question, Whether she would have him? She told him,
Matrimony was a thing of that moment as required a great deal of
consideration, and not to be so speedily determined. He told her, his
studies would not allow him a long courtship; and, pulling out his
watch, laid it on the table, and told her he would give her an hours
time to consider of it. Away goes the girl, but, believing it to be a
banter, she thought very little on that subject ; the parson having looked
on his watch, and finding the hour was gone, he desired the young lady
might be again called in. When she came, the parson shewed her the
watch, telling her the hour was past, and that he hoped she had considered
of what he had spoke to her about; she told him, that, it being a matter
of such great consequence, it required a much longer time than he had
set for that purpose. The parson hereupon began to fret, and told her
further, He found she would not have him, and therefore he desired
his horse to be brought out, for he would be going homewards. The
gentleman pressed him to continue longer; withall, telling him, though
the eldest required so much time for consideration, perhaps the second
might not.

The parson was hereby prevailed upon to smoak another pipe, and
the second daughter was brought in, to whom he carried himself as to
the former, and also allowed her an hour's time to consider of it. You
may be sure, during this time, the father and mother worked the girl
to say, Yes, as plain as if she had been in the church. The time being
elapsed, the parson was impatient to go home, wite or no wife, he was
so indifferent. The girl was now called in, and the parson asked her,
- Whethershe had considered of the manner? She answered, Yes. Then
will you have me? She answers, Yes. Very well then, says the parson
to the father, all is done but matrimony; and when shall that be?
When you please, says the father. Then, says the parson, let it be on
Tuesday next. But, says the father, who shall get the licence? I will
take care of that, says the parson; and so, taking leave of the father,
away he goes. When he had gone about three or four miles, and
thinking of the licence, he remembered he had not taken his wife's
‘christian name, and so he rode back again as hard as he could drive,
and, riding up the house, he found the eldest daughter standing at the |
door, so he asked her what was her christian name? She told him; he
bid her a good night, and away he goes.

The day being come, and the licence being got ready, the parson
comes to fetch his wife; away goes the father with him, and his three
daughters, and two or three other relations, to the church, where the
parson and clerk were ready to make matrimonial execution. The
parson asked the father and Parson G , Which of the daughters
was to be married ; they answered the second daughter ; but the parson
told them the first daughter's name was in the licence, and therefore he
could not marry them till they had got another licence. Parson
G——— told them, he could not defer it any longer, and therefore he
would be dispatched somehow or other, and told them it was all one
to him which of them he had, and so he goes to the eldest, and asks

THE LEVELLERS. A DIALOGUE, &e. 211

her whether she would have him? And she, having better considered
of the point, answered Yes, and so they were married. ;

From church they went home to her father's house, where, having
dined, he tells his wife she must put up such things as she designed to
carry home with her, for he would quickly be going homewards. The
relations begged of him to stay all night, and bed his wife at her father's
house, it being the usual custom so to do; he told them, he would lie
no where but at his own house, and that he would be going presently,
The relations finding no arguments would prevail upon him to tarry,
they got Mrs. Bride ready; and the parson, coming to the door, espied
several horses ready saddled and bridled; he asked, what the meaning of
those horses was? They told him, for some of his wife's relations, to
accompany him home; he said, no body should goalong with him but
his wife; and so they were forced to stable their horses, and let the
married couple go home by themselves.

When they came home, he conducted her into the house, and saluted
her, which was the first time; and, after he had bid her welcome, and
they had sat about half an hour, the parson calls the old maid, and
bids her bring the spinning wheel, and told his wife, he did not doubt
but she was a good housewife, and knew how to make use of that instru-
ment. She told him, Yes; then he tells her, he did expect she would
work while he was at work, and no longer. So away goes he to his
study, and Mrs. Bride to working with the whirling-engine. About an
hour after he comes down, and tells her, now she must leave work, and
bids the old maid get supper ready. After they had supped, he goes
into his study, and she to her spinning wheel. When he returns again
from his study, he tells her, now she must leave work. After a short
discourse, he went to prayers with the family, and then orders the old
maid to light her mistress up stairs, and put her to bed.

Away goes Madam Bride to bed, without any ceremony of eating
sack-posset, or throwing the stocking; and, as soon as she was in bed,
in comes the parson, and to bed goes he; but, sitting up in it, he bids
the maid bring him the little table, a great candle, and such a book
from the study, which she did, and the parson went to his reading; upon
which, the bride calls to the maid. ‘The parson asked her, what she
wanted? She told him, Something. The maid coming, he bid her
speak to her mistress, who bids her bring up the spinning-wheel, and a
great candle in the long candlestick; which the maid baving done, Mrs.
Bride went to whirling it about as hard as ever she could drive. At which
the parson could hardly forbear bursting out into laughter, and, finding
that spinning and reading did not agree well together, he put out his
candle, and laid him down in bed like a good husband.

The next morning, he told her, that he found her a wife of a suitable
temper to himself, and that, for the future, she might work or play
when she pleased; that he left all his temporal concerns to her manage-
ment, and they lived a very happy couple together, till death parted
them,

This, madam, is indeed a very comical story; however, the young
woman got a good husband by the bargain. Humours are indeed ver
vneasy companions, but the whole course of human life is attended

á

21? THE LEVELLERS:.A DIALOGUE, &c.

with mixtures of pleasure and pain, and it is but common prudence
for us to overlook a few impertinences, rather than lose the most neces-
sary comforts of life. We have all of us our whims and humours in
relation to matrimony; sometimes they abound m the parents, and
sometimes in the children, sometimes in the husband, sometimes in the
wife; for my part I do not know who is clear of them. We are now
fallen into tie humour of telling stories under this green bower, as if
we were in a chimney corner at christmas, which is a sort of imperti-
nence, pardonable in those who have nothing to do but pass away their
time in tattle, and reading of books; however, it is more commendable
than to gossip, as the London ladies do, over sack and walnuts, cool
tankards, and cold tea, and all the time rail at their husbands for being
at the tavern. 1 will propagate the humour we are fallen into, by telling
you a true story of a miserly old bumourist.

A certain country gentleman of about one-thousand pounds per
annum, having buried his wife and all his children, took a brother's
son into the house, as bis heir, and gave him the best education that
country would afford. The boy being a youth of clean parts, and good
ingenuity, he improved to an extraordinary degree in so barren a soil,
and so very dutiful withal, that the old man perfectly doated on him,
and was uneasy when he was out of his company. When he came to
years of maturity, was grown ripe, and ready to be shaken into the matri-
monial bed. the old gentleman asked him, Whether he was inclined to
marry? The young man, with an unwilling modesty, told him, what
he pleased; he wholly referred that, and every thing else relating to

"himself, to his care, thinking himself always happy and safe under his
conduct. Says the old cuff. Thou hast been a very dutiful child to
me, and therefore, says he, I am willing to please thee, Shall I look
thee out a wife? "The young man (who without doubt would have been
better pleased to have looked out a wife for himself) answered, With
all his heart.

The old gentleman looks out accordingly, and, being well known in
the country, was not long in pursuit of a wife for his nephew, which
happened to be a gentleman's daughter about ten miles distant from his
own habitation. The two old people discoursed the' matter, and came to
this resolution, That the two young ones should have an interview, and
see how they liked one another. Home comes the old man, and ac-
quainted his nephew that he had pitched upon a wife for him, one of
Mr. ———’s daughters, who were all of them virtuous young women,
and every way suitable to his quality and circumstances; although their
portions were but small, their father having met with many misfortunes,
yet the virtues inherent in them rendered them equal to himself. The
young man returned him abundance of thanks, and did not, in the least,
question the prudence of his choice.

Now was the young man to have an interview with Mrs. Bride elect,
and his uncle retired into consultation with himself, how to equip his
nephew for that enterprise. At first, he determined to send to London
to have him a new suit of cloaths made, that he might appear like a
courtier; but, upon second thoughts, and to save his money, he told
him, he could better provide for him at home; for, says he, you are

\

THE LEVELLERS: A DIALOGUE, &c. 213

just of my size, and I have above stairs, in the press, all my wedding-
cloaths, which were the best I could lay my hands on, both for the
fineness of the cloth, and the silk lining. I am sure they are so good,
that I never wore them above four or five times in all my life, and they
are never the worse for wearing, I will assure thee, if I had not a great
respect for thee, thou shouldest never have them. What sayest thou,
child, wilt thou try them on? With. all my heart, replied the young
spark. Up goes the old man and brings them down; he puts them on,
and they fitted exactly. ‘Ihe coat-sleeves were gloriously cut and
slashed, small buttons on the coat, a little bigger than pease; the
pockets about a handful below the knees, the breeches were open-kneed,
a great deal wider than a Flanderkin’s trousers, hung all around with
abundance of little ribbons. The old gentleman asked him how he liked
them? Very well, Sir, replies the spark. Now, says the old man,
for a hat; I have a special beaver I bought along with these cloaths,
which he also produced; it hada crown as high, and in form ofa sugar-
loaf, with brims as broad as a tea-table. The young gentleman thanked
him heartily for it also. Now, says the old cuff, there is nothing
wanting but a pair of boots, which I have by me, and which being
brought, the young spark tried them on, and they fitted exactly ; they
were of a russet colour with white tops. Pray, says the old man, take
great care of these-boots, it is wet weather and may spoil them, there-
fore I would advise thee to twist some hay-bands about them for their
security, and, when you come near the house, pull them off, and then
they will be neat and clean as they were at my wedding. But one
thing I had almost forgot, Hast thou got any thing? Not one penny,
replied the spark. Well thought on, says the uncle, courtship is charge-
able, here is half a crown, pray make good use of it. The young gen-
tleman, thus equipped, looked like one of Queen Elisabeth's courtiers
come from the dead, or, like snow on the grass and trees about mid-
summer; but what would one not undergo for a good wife or husband ?

The young man gets up early the next morning, and having resumed
his former accoutrements, and mounting on the outside of his uncle’s
best palfrey, away he trots in pursuit of his lady. You may be sure the
people gazed, and the dogs barked sufficiently on the road at this
human scarecrow on horseback; but the worst of it was, as he came
within bow-shot of his mistress’s tabernacle, the young lady was looking
out at the window, and espying such a gure, she called her other two
sisters, and told them that merry Andiew! was coming, which put them
into a great fit of laughter, till, approaching nearer, one' of them cries
out, Itis Mr. ’s nephew, and, knowing his business, they sent
a man to take his horse, and their father and mother received him very
genteelly at the door, aud ushered him into the house.

But, asif Fate had ordained that the poor spark should be exposed in
his antiquated“ habiliments, it so happened that day there was an in-
vitation of gentlemen and ladies to dinner at the house. When dinner
. was ready and set on the” table, the young spark was conducted from

another room to the rest of the guests. No sooner had he set his foot on
the threshold, but the eyes of the whole company were upon him; one
sneared, another tittered, a third laughted outright, no budy knowing

214 THE LEVELLERS: A DIALOGUE, &c.

the meaning of this odd dress; so that indeed he was the scaramotich
of the company. But by that time they had feasted their eyes on him,
and filled their stomachs with the victuals, they found the spark was
very modest and ingenious, and that his good humour and eloquence
was more agreeable to their cars and minds, than his habit to their
eyes; and, by his.ogling one of the ladies more than the rest, they gucss-
ed at his design; and being unwilling to cramp love in its embryo, after
dinner they all withdrew, and left that lady and the spark together.

The spark immediately takes the opportunity to apologise for bis
garb, and told her how necessary it was for him to please his uncle's
humour in the thing, which, though it made him ridiculous to the com-
pany, he hoped would not lessen her esteem of his person: The young
lady (who knew she was to marry the man; and not the cloaths) told
him, it was not the garb she looked at, but she had more respect to his
other accomplishments; and at this rate they went on in discourse of
love and matrimony for about two hours.

The lady then thinking it uncivil any longer to withdraw herself, or
detain the gentleman from the rest of the company, she desired him to
go into the next apartment, and take a game at cards with the young
ladies. The spark, knowing the weakness of his pocket, desired hearüly
to be excused ; but, being pressed by one he could in no wise refuse,
he was at lastforced to give her the grand argument, by making known
to her his Job's condition. She, understanding the humour of his uncle,
guessed the moncy might as well be wanting as new cloaths, and she de-
sired his patience for a minute or two, whilst she stepped out about a
little business, which she did, and returns presently with a purse of
five pounds, desiring him to make use of it. Upon which he waits up-
on her into the next room, where he played at cards with the rest of
the company, sometimes won, sometimes lost, but always pleased the
company to admiration; so that they all thought his mistress extremely
happy in having so ingenious and good-humoured a lover, though in an
antiquated dress. r

To make short of my story, he tarried with his lady a full fortnight,
and in that time got her consent, and the consent of her parents, and
returns home to his uncle with this joyful news, which extremely
pleased the old gentleman; but he took care to tell the old man, that,
according to his own words, he had found indeed that courtship was
chargeable, for that he had spent eighteen-pence of the half-crown he
gave him, and, putting his hand in his pocket, he gave his uncle the
remaining shilling. Well, child, says the uncle, 1 commend thy pru-
dence and frugality, I find thou art to be trusted with money and any
thing else, and therefore I will settle five-hundred a year upon thee in
marriage; and giving him a good sum of moncy to buy him such wed-
ding-cloaths as he should best like, the marriage was soon after solemni-
sed to the satisfaction both of old and young. They were a happy pair,
and the old man, dying some years atter, left them the remainder of
his estate, which made an addition to their happiness.

Politica. Truly, madam, the young gentleman was enough ingeni-
ous; bad he been cross, and not pleased his uncle's humours, he would
bave been disiuherited, though I must confess, it is hard to render our-

THE LEVELLERS: A DIALOGUE, &c. 215
selves ridiculous to a degree of folly, to please an old humourist. But
“what is not sinful can never be shameful, and how unpleasant soever our
actions are in the sight of men, if they are otherwise in the sight of
God, it is no matter: A good estate and virtue make a man beautiful
in any garb. I believe I could conform myself to the humours of the
greatest caprichio, were I afterwards to be as happy as the young lady
you have mentioned, We must all of us suffer some way or other in our
pupillage : The apprentice serves out his time with chearfulness, in ex-
pectation of being his own manat the seven years end. Future ease is
a great encouragement to present labour. But I know many young
men and women are ruined by the unaccountable humours of their pa-
rents and governors, and take such wicked courses, that they are seldom
or never reclaimed, especially women, who have once broken through
the bounds of chastity. lt is a common proverb amongst the men, that,

‘Once a whore and always a whore, Though I have known this pro-
verb crossed ; and, to level and make our stories even as we would do
marriages, I shall give you an account after what manner:

A-country gentleman, who was a justice of the peace in the coun-
ty of R , not having been in London in his life, or at least, not
for a long time, being in conversation with some of his friends, heard
them speak of the practice of lewd women, in picking men up in the
streets. The gentleman, being a stranger to this abominable practice,
could not believe any women could be so impudent, as they reported
them to be; but they told him, he might experience the contrary any
evening when he pleased. "The gentleman was resolved to make the ex-
periment, and one evening in Fleet-street he takes notice of a very
pretty geutlewoman, which eyed him very narrowly, whereupon he
asked her to drink a glass of wine; she agreed at the first word, and
went with him to the next tavern.

When the gentleman and his doxy were seated in a room, and had
some wine brought them, they drank very civilly one to the other ; but
miss expected to be attacked, after another sort of manner than she
found by the gentleman: For he asked her, how long she had continued
that trade; she told him, as they all do, but a very short ume; then he
continues, how can you dare to live in rebellion both against the laws
of God and man, and impudently pursue methods to destroy both your
body, and your immortal soul? In short, he read her such a lecture,
that she, not being hardened in sin as are the generality of those mis-
creants, burst out into a flood of tears, and told bim, that it was not
without a wonderful remorse of conscience she followed that wicked
course of life, and protested to him, that it was pure necessity obliged
her to it, for otherwise she could not get a subsistence. ‘The gentle-
man asked her further, how she came first to be debauched? She told
him her father was a country gentleman, who had extravagantly spent
& plentiful estate, and then dying, left her to the wide world unprovided
for: She thought London was the best place to get her a livelihood in,
and thither she came, but very unfortunately fell into the hands of a
lewd woman, who betrayed her to the lust of a gentleman, who was no
more than once concerned with her, and then advised her to ply the

her up. . ay sd.

The gentleman told her, it was hard to believe persons who had been
guilty of such heinous crimes, and very heartily admonished her to for- $
sake her evil practices, to repent of w hatshe had already done, and to —
amend her lite for the future. She gave him many thanks for his good’
advice, and told him, she should. think herself à very happy person, if
either he, or any one else, would put her in a way to live otherwise. —
He told her, if she would resolve to amend for the future, he would
take care to pram for her. She promised him, with all the assevera-
tions imaginable, that she would: Whereupon he told her, that she
should meet him the next day ata certain time and place; she coming
according to appointment, he put her into a lodging he had provided,
and, being-well assured of her repentance and sincerity, and finding her
an accomplished gentlewoman, soon after married her; and she made
him a chaste and happy wife, and he lived as happily with her, as if
she had been possessed of a portion of thousands of pounds,

anniversary thanksgiving-songs on the thirtieth of January, by them
called Anthems, for the years 1693, 1694,1695, 1696, 1697; now pub-

THE PREFACE.

THE following collection has been so industriously handed up and
down, where it was thought it would be well received, and confirm

THE CALVES-HEAD CLUB, &e. 217

those principles which too many have unhappily sucked in, and raise
the confidence of those who were thought too bashful by their party,
that some honest men have thought there could be no more effectual
remedy for the mischief it might do, nor any surer way to stop the
career than a publication: For, though many may presume, that,
under the disguise of mirth, and the protection of a free conversa-

“ihe tion, they might safely venture to make an experiment how far the

poison would work upon the undiscerning of untried constitutions,
especially when rhime and musick were the vehicles, and ‘ under the
rose’ was the word; yet it is believed, when the malignity of the
draught is publickly discov iew: will venture upon it with-
out a sufficient antidote, and fewer have the hardiness to admini-
ster it.

These lines (for such ribaldry and trash deserve not the name of
poems) were composed and set to musick for the use of the Calves-
Head Club, which was erected by an impudent set of people, who
have their feast of calves heads in several parts of the town,
on the thirtieth of January, iu derision of the day, and defiance of
monarchy; at divers of which meetings the following compositions
were sung, and, in affront to the church, called Anthems. These,
which are here published, are said to have been written by Mr. Ben-
jamin Bridgewater, and that he was largely rewarded by the mem-
bers of the club for his pains, Whether Mr. Stevens was so well gra-
tified for his sermons to the same tune, and on the same days, is
more than the publisher dares say; but, perhaps, the pulpit was a
bar to his pretensions, and the poet had been beiter rewarded than
the preacher, had his sermons been put into rhime.

However, it is hoped, that this publication may give a check to the
evil of the example, and destroy the continuance of the practice,
or at least give fair warning, and take away the pretence of surprise
from those who shall proceed to insult the government in so saucy
and so villainous a manner.

But, whatever the success may be, the publisher doubts not but his
intentions are justified, and wishes the effect may demonstrate the
reasonableness of them, by putting an end to so unchristian and
scandalous a practice.

T is a prodigious thing to consider (and, for the honour of my native

country, I wish I could say it was a false imputation upon her) that

the execrable regicides of king Charles the First should find any advo-
cates, or abettors, still among us.

I say, it is prodigious, that, after the whole nation, by their. represen-
fatives in parliament assembled, has enacted so solemn a detestation of
this unnatural parricide, and appointed a day of humiliation for it, to
continue to all ages of the world, there should be such a set of boutefeus
yet remaining, so impudently audacious, as to justify a crime, for

Verse. j

Was it not enough that a powerful prince, allied. to most of the
crowned heads in Christendom, was despoiled of that just authority,
wherewith the laws of God and man had invested him, and, lastly, of
his life, but that he must be most barbarously persecuted after his
death, and suffer those indignities in his memory, when dead, which.
he had so plentifully suffered in his person, when living?

There is a time, when the most implacable malice is satiated, and
exerts itself no louger. The most savage nations seldom, or never, car-
ried. their resentmenis beyond the grave; and thought it a piece of bar-
barous cowardice, to insult upon the ashes of those that could not
speak for themselves.

But the royal martyr has been treated, if it is possible, with more
inhumanity after his desolation, than he was exposed to when under
the power of his rebellious subjects. He has not only been stigmatised
by the odious name of tyrant, who was, in truth, the best and most mer-
ciful father of his country, and loaded with a thousand undeserved ca-
lumnies; but, what shews the restless malice of his adversaries, even
that incomparable book of devotion, composed by him in his solitude,
and the time of his deepest afflictions, and which no pen, but his own,
could have written, has been adjudged from him by a * late mercenary
author; although it is certain to any man, at least, that can distinguish
stiles, that the person, to whom the republicans ascribe it, was no more
capable of writing so excellent a piece, than the aforesaid compiler of
Milton’s Life, of writing an orthodox system of the mysteries of chris-
tianity.

Thus, as he was torn from his queen and children in his life, he was
robbed, as far as'it lay in the power of his malicious enemies, even of
the legitimate issue of his brain: Tho’ as truth, but especially truth in-
juriously oppressed, never wants some generous hands to defend its
cause; so all the arguments that have been used by the republicans, to
prove it a spurious piece, have been fully answered by a worthy f di-
vine now living, beyond all possibility of a reply.

The barbarity of his enemies stopped not here; for, not content to
have assassinated his person and reputation, they even dispossessed him
of his sepulchre, a piece of cruelty, which none but thorough paced
villains ever executed, for, when the f long parliament had voted an
honourable interment for their late prince, who had suffered so unjustly,
all was stopped, by reason that the persons, ordered to regulate the
ceremony, when they came to examine the royal coffin, found the body
missing.

This puts me in mind of what a worthy gentleman, who travelled
with my Lord-A-— into Italy, told me on ago, viz. That,
during his short stay at Bern in Switzerland, a sy dic of the town, who

o frequently to visit Major-General Ludlow, when he lived in those
parts, assured him, that he had often heard Ludlow, in a vaunting man-
ner, affirm, that, though Ireton and Cromwell were buried under Ty-
burn, yet, itwas a comfort to him, that the royal martyr kept them
company ; for, says he, foreseeing that his son would undoubtedly come
in, we took care that his Giles body should not be idolatrously wor-
shipped by the cavaliers; and therefore privately removed it to the .
lace of common execution.

Whether the matter of fact, as Ludlow related it, be true or false,
itis not material here to enquire; though I think nothing can give any
honest man a juster and greater aversion to the libertines of that party,
than to observe that their malice has no bounds, and that it neither
spares the dead nor the living.

But, of all the indignities UTEM to the manes of this injured prince,
nothing, in my opinion, comes up to the inhumanity and profaneness of
the Calves-Head Club.

For my part, I was of opinion at first, that the story was purely con-
triued on purpose to render the re publicans more odious than they de-
served; for 1 could not imagine, how any men that pretended to be
christians, or called themselves Englishmen, could calmly and sedately
applaud an action, condemned not only by the word of God, but by
the laws of the land, to which they pretend to pay so great a defe-
rence.

As for the regicides, who were actually concerned in {his execrable
tragedy, this may be said, however, in favour of them, if I may be al-
lowed so to express myself towards criminals of that magnitude, that
having gone so far in their wickedness, and given his majesty such in-
supportable provocations; and, what is more, measuring his clemency
by their own, they concluded he could never forgive them ; and, there-
fore, like Cataline, found themselves under the. necessity of committing
greater crimes, in order to cover themselves from what was past.

But what can be offered to extenuate the crime of these atheistical
miscreants, who make that a matter of their lewd mirth, which the
whole nation has, in the most solemn manner, ever since lamented, and,
over their cups, applaud the most wicked action which the sun ever
beheld ?

For this reason, my good nature made me look upon it as a fiction
upon the party, till happening, in the late reign, to be in the company
of a certain active whig, who, in all other respects, was a man of pro-
bity enough ; he assured me, that, to bis knowledge, it was true; that
he knew most of the members of that club, and that he had been often
invited to their meetings, but that he had always avoided them; add-
ing, that, according to the principles he was bred up in, he would have
made no scruple to have met king Charles the First, in the field, and
opposed him to the utmost of D power; but that, since he was dead,
he had no further quarrel to him, and looked upon it as a cowardly
piece of villainy, below any man of honour, to insult upon e meniory
of a prince, who had suffered enough in his life-time.

He farther told me, that Milton, and some other creatures of the
commonwealth, had instituted this club, as he was informed, in oppos

sition to Bishop Juxon, Dr. Sanderson, Dr. Hammond, and other di-
vines of the church of England, who met privately every thirtieth of
January; and, though it was under the time of the usurpation, had
compiled a private form of service for the day, not much different from
what we now find in the liturgy.

That, after the restoration, the eyes of the government being upon the
whole party, they were obliged to meet witha great deal of precaution;
but now, says he (and this was the second year of king William’s reign)
they mect almost ina publick manner, and apprehend nothing.

By another gentleman, who, about eight years ago, went out of mere
curiosity to see their club, and has siiice furnished me with the following
papers, I was informed, that it was kept in no fixed house, but that they
removed as they saw convenient; that the place they met in, when he
was with them, was in a blind alley about Moorfields ; that the company
wholly consisted of independants and anabaptists (I am glad, for the
honour of the Presbyterians, to set down this remark) that the famous
Jerry White, formerly chaplain to Oliver Cromwell, who, no doubt of
it, came to sanctify, with his pious exhortations, the ribaldry of the
day, said grace ; that, after the table-cloth was removed, the anniversary
anthem, as they impiously called it, was sung, and a calf’s skull, filled
with wine or other liquor, and then a brimmer went about to the pious
memory of those worthy patriots that had killed the tyrant, and deli-
vered their country from his arbitrary sway; and, lastly, a collection
made for the mercenary scribbler, to which every man contributed ac-
cording to his zeal for the cause, or the ability of his purse.

I have taken care to set down what the gentleman told me, as faith-
fully as my memory would give me leave, and 1 am persuaded, that
some persons that frequent the Black Boy in Newgate-strect, as they
knew the author of the following lines, so they know this account of
the Calves-Head Club to be true.

Now I will appeal to any unprejudiced Englishman, whether such
shameful assembiies ought not to be suppressed with the utmost dili-
gence.

Let us consider them, either in relation to the christian religion we
profess, or to common humanity and good manners, or, lastly, to the
Jaws of the land, and they affront all equally.

Therefore, I hope the magistrates and others, whom it concerns, will
take care, especially now, since they have the countenance of the go-
vernment, to prohibit, as far as in them lies, and detect these wicked
meetings, that the persons, there assembling, may be punished as they
deserve. ^

Though no man abominates persecution more than myself, yet, I
will venture to say, that a set of people, who wish the subversion of
our ecclesiastical and civil establishment, as appears by the following.
papers, ought to expect no quarter from our hands. d

An Anthem on the Thirtieth of January, 1696.

THERE was a king of Scottish race, a man of muckle might a,
Was never seen in battles great, but greatly he would sh az
This king begot another king, which made the nation sad a, `

Was of the same religion, an atheist like his dad a.

‘This monarch wore a peaked beard, and scem’d a doughty hero,

As Dioclesian innocent, and merciful as Nero;

The church's darling implement, but scourge of all the people:
He swore he'd make each mother’s son adore their idol steeple;

But they, perceiving his designs, grew plaguy sby and jealous,
And timely chopp'd his calves-head off, and sent him to his fellows,
Old + Rowly did succeed his dad, such a king was never seen a,
He'd lie with every nasty drab, but seldom with his queen a.
Restless and hot, he roll'à about the town from whore to whore a,
A merry monarch as eer livd, yet scandalous and poor a.

His dogs at council-board wou'd sit, like judges in their furs a;
"Twas hard to say, which had most wit, the monarch, or his curs a.
At last he dy'd, we know not how, but most think by his brother;
His soul to royal Tophet went, to see his dad and mother,

The furious James usurp'd the throne, to pull religion down a;
But, by his wife and priest undone, he quickly lost his crown a.
To France the wand'ring monarch’s trudg' d, in hopes relief to find a;
Which he is like to have from thence, even when the d "s blind a.
Oh! how should we rcjoice and pray, and never cease to sing a,

Jf f bishops too were chac'd away, and banish'd with their king a?
Then peace and plenty would ensue, our bellies would be full a,
Th’ enliven’d isle would laugh and smile, as in the days of Noll § a.

* A most admirable prayer! It is casy to nickname them beasts, and there is an end of them
all. +A very fine character this of a merciful prince, who restored to us our ancient go-
vernment and liberties! But this shews the gratitude of this faction. i Thus we find,
that the subversion of monarchy is not the only thing this party aims at, but likewise that of the
hierarchy, which must expire both tozether; so that, though some writers in that reign thought fit
to ridicule that saying of ‘ No King, no Bishop,’ as absurd and inconsequential, yet our fathers
lived to see it verified; and I heartily wish their posterities may never see the experiment made
the second time. § The reader is desired to observe how inconsistently these liber
tines act with themselves, who can celebrate tie bloody and calamitous reign of am * usurper,
who trampled upon that very republick, of which they boast so much." i

METHOD OF CURING THE SMALL-POX,

First written in the Year 1704,

For the Use of the Noble and Honourable Family T. March, by Dr,
Arch. Pitcairn.

Folio, containing one page.

ie LE a child, or any person, grow sick, feverish, or has pain in the
"back, or slot of the breast, loss of appetite, drowsiness, short
cough, sneezing, watery eyes, or some of these; but always accom»
panied with some heat, and frequent pulse or drought. In this case,
blood is to be taken at the arm, or with loch- leeches; and, if the fever
ceases not, though the pox appear, Jet blood a second or third time.
Mean time, give the child a spoonful of syrup of white poppies at night,
and in the nighttime, even till sleep or ease comes.
2. After the pox appears, and fever is gone, then steep a handful of
sheep's purles in a large mutchkin of carduus-water, or hyssop-water,

* Admirable doctrine in the mouths of hypocrites, that pretend to so much sanctity!

THE METHOD OF CURING THE SMALL-POX. 227

or fountain-water, for five or six hours; then pour it off without strain-
ing, and sweeten it with syrup of red poppies. Give of this a spoonful
or two, every fourth or fifth hour, tomake the pe fill, and preserve the
throat. Alwaysat night time and in the night, give a spoonful or two
of the syrup of white poppies for a cordial ; that Keeps down the fever,
and keeps up the pox,

3. If the pox run together in the face (which is the only thing that
brings hazard) use the ‘infusion of the purles, and the syrup of white
poppies, oftener than in other cases; also about the eighth day from tle
appearing of the pox, or a little before that, give the child to drink of
barley-water, sweetened with syrup of white poppies; this will make
the child spit, which saves the child.

4. The child's drink may be milk and water at other times, or emul-
sion, but use the first rather.

5. Apply nothing to the face,

Use no wine, or winish possets.

6. If any looseness comes before the fourth day of the eruption, stop
it with syrup of poppies, and five or seven drops of liquid laudanum,
given now and then till it be stopped.

Let the child's dict be all along a thin bread berry in the morning, a
weak broth, and soft. bread for dinner, and milk and bread at night, Or
sugar- -bisket and milk; and, about the fifth day from the eruption, give
the child groat-broth sometimes,

T is agreed to on all hands, that nothing does so much contribute te
the ruin of kingdoms and societies, as the abounding of vice and
immorality. Wickedness, where it becomes outrageous, challenges
heaven to vindicate its own authority, and arms God for vengeance
against a people; and the more spreading and universal it grows, the
greater mass of wrath is thence treasured up, and destruction thereby
the more infallibly ascertained. And then, What overflowing inun-
dations of fury may justly be apprehended beyond whatever this poor
Jand has hitherto smarted by, from those monstrous heighis of gigantick
vice, which has swelled to degrecs, that scarcely our very fears could
have probably suggested? Witness all sorts of the most licentious vil-
lainies, that refuse to know any bounds or restraints! We have now
beheld atheism so bold, that it no more skulks in corners, but outfaces
the sun and men. We have lived to see religion openly ec down,
and exposed as the only befitting quality a the more flegmatick me-
lancholy kind of people; swearing and drunkenness the genteel fashion-
able form of behaviour; lust and whoredom the ordinary topicks of

. discourse; adultery, and viler uncleanness, brought to be the mode :

perfidy ‘and murder authorised, Finally, A contempt of all that is
sacred and serious; and then it can be no wonder if we shall find

^ And now, that matters are brought to so dreadful, so desperate a?
issue, the land groaning under such an intolerable load of sins and
calamities; What man is so bard-hearted, so regardless of God, so
unconcerned forthe publick good of his native country, so void of all
sense of his own, and his neighbour's danger, in their highest and dearest
concerns, as will not contribute the utmost that in him lies, to put the
most effectual stop to these common national sins, that otherwise will
make the kindlings of the divine anger break out and consume all?

Did we live in an age that shewed any tolerable measure of respect
to the divine laws, it might be hoped, that whatever were made to
appear to be sinful, should instantly be abandoned; whatever were
understood to be a crime, would be accordingly avoided ; and then the
plain detecting a vice would go a great way towards its cure; but so
faris it otherwise, that most men seem so utterly to have divested them-
selves of all fear of God, that they can defy their own convictions,
charge through all kinds of sins, and own no further difference of good
and evil, than their present wordly interests, or viler appetites suggest,
or prompt them to; and then, What.success can be promiscd from any
attempt for our cure?

But yet no wickedness, how general soever, ought to supersede en-
deavours of a recovery ; but the more prevalent and universal vice

. grows, the more strenuous labours should be employed to controul it.

It is, sure, one of the best offices a person can undertake, in days of
general backsliding, to draw the notorious reigning sins of the land in
their just colours, to paint them in their true and horrid shapes, that
men, by beholding the natural ugliness and deformity of them, and by
considering what they will end in, may be cautioned to forsake them,
and so may flee from the wrath to come.

It were a vast work to attack all; I shall single out one of the first
magnitude, viz, the swearing of inconsistent oaths; which, I presume,
will, by all, be confessed to be an impiety of the greatest size, and to
have a most powerful energy in drawing on all those woes and calamities
we have been so deeply plunged into.

It will be readily acknowledged by all the wrangling factions amongst
us, that the land has been involved in no less than the horrid guilt of
perjury; as, indeed, where there bas been so much swearing and
counterswearing, How could .it possibly escape? Every new turn of
affairs must be accompanied with new modelled oaths, adapted to the
circumstances of the prevailing party, right or wrong; and then all
must to pot, who cannot swear and sign these, how flatly soever con-
tradictory to those others that preceded them, without the lcast regard
paid to the former obligations, though as solemn as any latter that can
be substituted in their room. I need not give instances; the Solemn
League, and Declaration, the Tender, the Test, &c. are too notorious
pregnant instances to be denied: And the crime, upon an ordinary
examination of the terms, thence too apparent: than which there can
be no higher contempt put upon the tremendous majesty of God, nor
any wickedness which raises a louder cry at the tribunal of heaven for
vengeance. And if men can once be habituated to, and harden themselves
in such courses, there is an end of all that is holy and heavenly, tender

and apprehensive in human nature, ‘and ali those storms and tempests
of the divine indignation to be expected which result from the justice of
anaffronted, sin-revenging God.

Now, Can there be any maa so devoted to all that is execrable and
accursed, such a lover of mischief, as that he would not heartily wish
fora proper remedy of so great an evil? And here it may be proposed
to consideration, What might be the most expedient mean, to prevent
such gross commissions in this particular, as if, not obviated, must
needs overwhelm and confound all, sink and ruin the nation and our-
selves? And whether, considering that faith has so sensibly failed from
amongst men, it were not, at present, adviseable, for saving the land
from farther heights of sin, and so to ward off the most formidable
judgments, that otherwise threaten us; whether, I say, considering
these things, it were not adviseable to forbear the imposing of those
customary obligations, and to dispense with all publick oaths, the
swearing of which, in the present depravation of men's manners, can
. afford no possible security to the publick, but only tend to inflame our
guilts, and more highly to incense God to pour out his fiercest anger
upon us.

It cannot, indeed, be denied, but that the custom of binding sub-
jects, by oaths of allegiance, to the supreme powers, hath been very
universal, and spread itself, far and nigh, all the world over. It was
ever judged reasonable to provide the most cffectually for the common
safety, and te guard most carefully against all disturbance of the pub-
lick peace and tranquillity; and to make sure of this, nothing was so
promising, as to put men under the most sacred ties of restraint; that
having invoked God judge and avenger, they might be kept from what-
ever tended to embroil or confound affairs; that, however any bold
incendiaries might hope for impunity from human power, they might
still be awed by the unconquerable dread of the omnipotent justice,
that would unavoidably pursue the violation of their holy vows. Bat
then, all this was to suppose, that men made conscience of performing
what they had undertaken, and were heartily resolved, with an un-
shaken constancy, firmly on all hazards, to stand by what they had so
solemnly engaged to, as they should answer to God on the contrary.
But now, that there has such degeneracy and corruption of manners
sprung up amongst us, and there seem to be no longer any impressions
of religion or morality left on the minds of men, but they can as easily
burst asunder all the most sacred bonds of allegiance, as if they were
only threads of cobweb; no other fruit of their oaths being discern-
ible, but the horrid guilt of breaking them. While matters are brought
to this pass, it ought sadly to be laid to heart, Whether, out of pure
respect to the honour of God, and holy reverence to his name, it be
not the far safer course to lay aside the imposing, or swearing of those
oaths, which do so notoriously tend to the farther debauching of men’s
minds, and searing their consciences? And to incline men to favour
this overture, these few obvious considerations may be briefly insisted
on:

J. That no party sooner gets the ascendant over their opponents, but

b INNOCENCE AND PEACE, &c. 231

their utmost invention is stretched, all art employed to secure themselves
in the possession of what, it may be, only their force and violence has
wrested, and quite to suppress and bear down all that cannot justify their
proceedings, and applaud, like enough, the groundless fictions of their
distempered brains; and then oaths must be devised with particular re-
spect to their own, and their adversaries tenets, that such as have
different sentiments of matters from them, may be brought either to
disclaim what they have formerly professed to believe, or exposed to all
the hardships and calamities, that their persecuting insulting foes have
the power to inflict upon them. And these obligations being ccun-
tenanced by the authority in being, at the time w hen they are imposed,
are cried up by all the abettors thereof, as religious and necessary, and
all that refuse them, branded with the most odious names their spite
can load them with. And though nothing be less intended than the
welfare of the community, or the advancement of religion; yea, let
religion suffer the most mortal wounds their artifices can give her, and
the strengthening the faction be the only aim of their contrivances ; yet,
O profane mockery! God is intitled to the faction, their fiery violence
is christened zeal, and the standing or falling of religion must straight
be made to depend on the interest they have espoused; and he that
comes short of their bitter fury is lukewarm, and all non-compliance
is downright enmity to the gospel. And then their way being necessary,
nothing less can suffice, than the interposing the most solemn oaths to
support and perpetuate the cause; but when the fulsome hypocrisy
becomes abominable, and God, for the transgressions of a land, or in
pity tothe miseries of it, sends another change; no sooner is the scene
shifted, but, as the sure concomitant of that, there succeeds a new
idn di oaths, and these again framed in the plainest contradictory
terms to those that went before ; so as, to be sure, the former shal! be

~- openly abjured by the latter ; and when the oppressed get from under the

rod of their persecutors, they reckon the severest treatment they can
repay, but a just retaliation; their resentments grow more stubborn than
can be easily appeased, and the heap of injuries they have sustained’ is
too great for all their charity to pardon. Thus, as the scales turn, there
is nothing but swearing backward and forward; and what we are now
required to abjure, shall, by the next change of affairs, be imposed
as indispensable necessary duty. Now I would desire any sober man,
in God’s name, to tell me, Whether he thinks there can be a more
dreadful sin than such a desultorious playing with oaths? What greater
contempt can possibly be put upon the glorious majesty of God? What
can more expose the gravity and wisdom, the picty and probity of the
nation? Or prepare sadder plagues, and a more certain intolerable
ruin? Sure I am, such as have the power in their hands to prevent so
great an evil, are concerned to lay it sadly to heart; for they that can
hinder a sin, and doit not, are highly accountable to God for it.
And in this respect it may seem 'reasonable to dispense with oaths.
Especially if we farther,

1I. Consider, what small reckoning men have now unhappily learned
to make of them. Publick bonds for mone sy, and publick oaths, are
reputed mere matters of form, that lay no obligation upon the cou-

science; and there are but a few that judge themselves any longer bound
by heiit than a fair occasion offers of emancipating them. Whatever
the importance of their most solemn promises have been, they make no
difficulty, on the first temptation, of engaging themselves to the other
side of the contradiction. A guilt this i is, of such an atrocious nature,
as must needs utterly lay waste the conscience, and render it insensible
and callous. [tis not the opinions we take up, that can alter the nature
of our duty. The heinousness of perjury is nothing abated by the stub-
born confidence of our fancies. The divine sanctions cannot be altered
by any power of our imaginations; all our belief can have no efficacy
towards the making that venial, viltch God has made damning. Sin
will retain its native venom, its own proper deadly nature, whatever
slight perfunctory notions we force ourselves to entertain concerning it.
Would men, therefore, summon up their serious attention, and in God's
fear deliberately weigh what is to be done. Ft is fairly supposcabfe,
they would utterly abolish a practice, whereby, because of men's wild
mistaken notions, they do unwarily deceive their own souls, and most
palpably provoke and dishonour that all- powerful and just judge, to
whom vengeance doth belong. It is proper here to remember, that the
swearing pro and con, in the contests, betwixt the houses of York and
Lancaster, was so heinous a transgression, as could, it seems, be ex-
piated by no less sacrifice, than of a hundred-thousand lives; for no
fewer were slain, -in that quarrel.

III. Let it be considered, that these oaths are a plain uem and vio-
lence to most, even of those that swear them. Some men, for worldly

advantage, aretempted to take them, though with reluctant conscien-
ces. A great many stand condemned by the sentence 'of their own
hearts, in the very moment of the solemnity. Interest is the great deity,
that has by far the most votaries; there is nothing so Peas which
the prospect of gain will not make men adventure on; there are but
few such virtuous souls, as are able to sesist a temptation of getting.
For a piece of money, one will struggle hard with, and worst his own
conscience, and defy present convictions, in TM very instant of his
grossest camen: And then it is obvious, thatthe annexing oaths,
to lucrative places, is one of the most dangerous snares possible. Profit
is a bait, that will make any hook be swallowed down. Now sure,
hereby comes evil, that all the benefit, that can be pretended- on -the
other side, can never preponderate.

IV. Add, as an unavoidable consequent of this, the unspeakabie
damage, that accrues to the publick, by the frequent revolutions and
interfering of oaths; for, by this means, the best and most useful men
are often kept back from places of trust, and such thrust in, as are the
plague and reproach of mankind. He that regards God and himself
fears an oath, and will not swear any thing, but what ke is fully satisfied
does plainly consist with his strict duty, and all the former obligations,
that have, at any time, passed upon him. Thence he is barred those
stations, wherein he might bea blessing to his country. Whereas, on
the other hand, the vicious man, that by his lewd conversation bas
numbed and stifled his conscience, and blotted out all sense of virtue in
his soul, will boggle at nothing; but, at all rates, will climb up to.

*

INNOCENCE AND PEACE, &c. 233

these posts of advantage or authority, that his covetousness or ambition
beckon him to. Let him have money and honour, and he shall never
enquire on what terms he comes by them! And what isto be expected
from the advancing such to rule and dignity? Will they respect equity,
or faithfully administer justice? Will they dispense the law with
candor, and equally maintain truth, between man and man? Nay,
Will they not notoriously pervert judgment, and have their eyes blinded
with bribes? And make the saddest jumble and medley of affairs, from
which nothing, but general confusion and mischief, shall ensue? For,
when the wicked bear rule, the city mourneth; and the most dreade
ful comets do not so certainly presage future calamities, as the preferring
vicious men to places of eminence and government. And yet this mis-
chief is caused by nothing more visibly, than the frequent varying the
terms of getting mto employment, which is a grievance, that calls
loudly for redress.

V. Another mischief of vast consideration, that the imposing of oaths
effects, is, that they do exceedingly tend -to the farther widening of
these woeful differences, already, far too notorious; when the preju-
dices of discording parties are heightened by the intervention of an
oath, What hope is there left remaining of.the possibility of a recon-
ciliation?: This fixes a &fy« xécz, an unpassible gulf between them;
and the breaches, that might have been cemented before, are hereby
rendered irreparable. This is à compendious way to shut the door
against all peace, and to make our wranglings and contentions endless:
Even the mote moderate and cooler tempers are hereby inflamed to-the
heighth of bigotry; and their alienations wax so inveterate, that they
can no longer listen to any proposals of a pacification. So that it may,
with great probability, be averred, that it is the bandying of oaths to
and fro, to which we oweall the bitter contests, that have been managed
with such implacable hatred; it may confidently he affirmed, they had,
at least, otherways never been so fierce. For, with whatever indiffer-
ence, persons may respect the opposite parties, before they be engaged ;
yet when once they are drawn in, by a solemn stipulation, the support
of the faction is made the object of their zeal, and it stands them -
on their reputation, to assert the necessity, just or unjust, of what they
are sworn to maintain. And then, at all rates, down with their adver-
saries; and nothing, short of slaughter and destruction, is breathed out
against all that shall dare to question the certainty of the articles they
have embraced, however doubtful these propositions sometimes appeared
to themselves. And then, What more seasonable charity, than to ab-
stract the foment from these accursed divisions, by prohibiting those
oaths, that add fuel to our flames, and perpetuate our janglings? For
so it might be hoped, that, ina little time, our unnatural heats would
die out, and more of mutual forbearance and brothetly kindness should
spring up amongst us; our animosities would giadually decay, when
so great a cause of distinction were removed; and men, by becoming
more disinterested, would be more impartial in their disquisitions for
truth: and, prejudices being laid aside, they would, with greater
freedom of spirit, embrace that, wherever they found it.. Thus, the
mists of error might be dispelled and vanish; and that pure and un-

defiled religion, which is peaceable, full of mercy, and good fruits, and
without partiality, should shine in its truc glory; and our Zion might
yet rise in her native beauty and splendor, become a peaceable and
prosperous habitation, the joy and praise of the whole earth. Let me
here but briefly mention, that these distinguishing oaths do often make
fatal rebounds upon the authors of them. Amilcar made Hannibal
swear at the altar of his Gods, that he should never make peace with

the Romans; and his wars, at last, terminated in the final overthrow, '

the utter excision of Carthage.

VI. The dispensing with publick oaths would go a wonderous in-
credible length, towards the removing of those commotions and dis-
turbances, that are of such pernicious consequence to human societies,
and to instate us in the blissful possession of the profoundest peace.
There can be no greater security to any government, than its being easy
and gentle; this takes off the asperity of men’s minds, drives out what-
ever grudges, and cuts off all pretensions for sullen murmurs and com-
plaints. It has a sweet force, sufficient to conquer any resistance, to
reconcile all tractable generous tempers, and carries a power in it able
to charm the most obstinate. When there is nothing left for men to
‘object, What fears or jealousies can be entertained of plots or con-
spiracies, to undermine that settlement, that every body enjoys such
desired contentment under? It creates mutual confidence and assur-
ance in rulers and people, and, of all things, does the most to make the
one quict, and the other safe; whereas rigorous harsh impositions make
the spirits ferment, and beget corrupt humours, that do break out into
dangerous eruptions in the body politick, and hurl the world into con-
fusions; the depraved infirm flesh shrinks under what is afflictive, has
aversions to the cross, and can with difficulty be induced, by all the
rhetorick of heaven, either to take it up, or bear it; when it is loaded
with whatis grievous, it frets and storms, and is apt to stick at nothing
that may disburden it. Ill blood can hardly, by any means, be
sweetened, and, where choler predominates, no authority of any laws,

divine or human, can repress it, Now all ground of such dangerous -

discontent is taken off, by forbearing whatever can be judged severe, by
laying aside such discriminating tests, as factious seditious men make
occasions of disquieting the world; and, were every such thing dis-
pensed with, this mild usage could. not but shame men into good-
nature; and a pcaceable disposition, and a happy deliverance from all
tumults and molestations, must needs be the certain consequent of not
leaving men the least shadow of a foundation to quarrel on.

Were these few things seriously pondered, and sincere honest designs
of advancing religion and virtue entertained in the breasts of men, it
might, with some confidence, be heped, that they would. chearfully
concur to remove what is attended with such manifest inconveniences,
and, by the disuse of which, so many signal advantages should be
C What rank of men is he to be numbered à in, who will needs
pertinaciously adhere to what he plainly observes to be the source and
origin of so many woeful guilts and calamities? Doth he fear God, or
leve virtue, who would not banish away what, he must needs know,

INNOCENCE AND PEACE, &c. 255

God does hate, and will punish? And who is he, who, under a lively
sense of the divine justice and holiness, dares think of patronising the
custom of swearing contrary oaths, whereby the omnipotent God is most
grievously offended, and which ripens for the most frightful destruction,
and for which God’s judgments are already so visibly abroad in the
earth? Has he any zeal for the honour of God, who is not concerned
for the profane contempt cast upon his holy name? Doth he wish the
thriving and prosperity of the publick, that would not prevent the occa-
sion of asin, that must needs undo and ruinit? Would to God I
were able to say any thing ou this head, that might awake and call up
men's thoughts, rouse their attentions, and set them in earnest a think-
ing, as under the all-seeing eye of God, whether what has been said
deserves any regard from them ; and what every one’s bound duty may
require from him, in his several station and capacity. Would men be so
just to tneir Maker, so kind to themselves, as to be persuaded to com-
pare the advantages and disadvantages of either side, and to chuse the
good and refuse the evil, one might promise soon to hear it become the
general cry, the common supplication, ‘No moreswearing! No more
publick oaths!’ that, by their interfering, must needs be, of all things
on earth, the most full of terror, the most full of guilt and danger.

But whatever the advantages, the complying with the design of this
attempt might be attended with, it is not to be doubted, but it will
meet with fierce enough opposition (as indeed all healing overtures have
ordinarily the fate to be treated with the bitterest spite and contradic-
tion) and, upon various accounts, may have black enough colours laid
upon it.

Some will be enemies to it, from the apprehension of the private loss
and damage that themselves in particular might sustain, by the suc-
ceeding of any such proposal. This might possibly, they will think,
make changes, and so they, who are in the present enjoyment
of any gainful posts, might be disseized, and others made to reap
the profits; and therefore such, no doubt, will furiously malign and
resist. But, if they be virtuous persons, and demean themselves as
men of merit and sufficiency for the trust they enjoy, there is no reason
for them to set themselves, on this account, against what might be of
good use to the community, for nothing could more secure men of worth
and merit; but, if they be of another stamp, it were a general blessing
to have them removed; and one of the greatest benefits, such an alter-
ation should effect, would be the turning out vicious, insufficient, and
scandalous men; And what harm could come by their fall? But,
whatever endeavours any persons, on such accounts, may use, to
oppose a publick good, it ought not to be neglected, to gratify the
ambition or covetousness of private men; for woe to that self-seeking,
that wishes to thrive upon the publick ruin.

But others will be ready vehemently to exclaim against any such dis-
pensation, as being injurious to the supreme power; it being highly
reasonable that all fullest assurance should be taken of the subject, for
the preservation and security of the government; And how shall any so-
vereign expect fidelity, where it is not faithfully promised? This is, I
confess, the most material plea that can be opposed to what is now

reasoned for; and truly, if the safety of the government could be suf-
. ficiently provided for, and obtain any sure warrandice from men's vow-
ing fealty, it might appear a crime to lifta lip against, or return any
answer to this objection; it being most just that they should, in the

name of God, engage, not only not to do them harm themselves, but `

take all possible care, and use their utmost, most faithful endeavours,
that none should be done them by others; but then, what they so un-
dertake, they ought to adhere to, to their lives end. But, alas! when
nothing is effectueted by any such means, when daily experience con-
vinceth us, that all this produces nothing but the blackest, most dire
guilt, what ground in the world is there to require or impose oaths,
that men make no conscience of observing; and which only tend to
profane the dreadful name of God, to contemn and provoke the divine
Majesty, and to treasure up a greater stock of wrath against the land?
For, ina few words, it may be made plain, to a demonstration, that, in
the present corruption of the world, publick oaths are absolutely of no
benefit, or use imaginable: For he, whose principles or interest bind
him to a party, or establishment, will be stedfast thereto, without the
intervention of anoath. But, if a man swears against his principles
and interest, no snch tie will bind him; ten-thausand such oaths shall
never hold him fast, nor does he think himself obliged to continue firm
to them: but, on the contrary, the grating sense of what he judges
himself to have trespassed in. will powertully draw, and move him to
make the best reparation he is able, for the wrong step he has taken ;

whence, it evidently appears wholly vain to expect any security to the

publick, by the interposition of oaths.

But the most implacable enmity will arise, from those who are of
that envious temper, as to grudge the least ease to tender consciences.
This, it is true, is of so black a dye, and speaks such a hellish dispo-
sition, as will find few or none, that will make open profession of it;
for this were barefacedly to vouch themselves cruel persecutors. But
yet it is shrewdly to be suspected, there are not wanting men of that
malevolent nature, as would find a torment in any favour granted. to
those whom they bear no kindness to, and take a particular compla-
cency in whatever may afflict or ensnare them, than which there can
be no quality more contrary to the spirit of christianity; for this is to

lease one's self with that which is the satisfaction of the devilsf*who
are delighted with the miseries and ruins of men; and the nearest re-
semblance, and most lively portraiture wf a devil, is an invidious
uature, that wishes, or contrives what is hurtful and prejudicial to
another. And then, wherever any thing of this spirit is discern-
ible (as, alas! a very superficial serutiny may tóo easily discover it)
all that have learned Christ must own themselves bound to con-
troul it.

I cannot foresee any thing farther, worth noticing, that this overture
can be charged with ; and, therefore, would men, without biass, apply
themselves to spend ‘some serious thoughts about it, itis hardly to be
supposed it could meet with any resistance from sober, pious, and well-
disposed persons; for, Is there not a God and is not he the avenger of
sin? And can any mau, who believes his being, reckon it indifferent,

INNOCENCE AND PEACE, &c. 237

whether his great and dreadful name be reverenced or blasphemed ?
and, doth not the religious observance, or profane violation of our pro-
missory oaths amount to all this? For, let any impartial man narrow-
. ly examine the importance of those diversified oaths that have been im-
posed, and let him try this act of reconciling the terms if he can; and,
by the time that he has a while employed his thoughts, as in God’s
presence, about them, he may come to conccive a difference betwixt
him that swearcth, and him that feareth an oath. The very heathens
had always the greatest tenderness and regard for their oaths, whereof
abundant instances might be given: And shall they seem to lose their
sacredness amongst those who are called Christians? God forbid! and
yet, what esteem can he be thought to hold them in, who swears in-
compatible inconsistent things? What can it be to take the name of
the Lord in vain, if this be not it? And is not it a frightful impiety,
first to take them, and then to break them? And what must it needs
be to require, to urge, and force them? That is what may exact men’s
most attentive consideration ; every one, who has a due care of his soul,
will be studious to examine himself in this? "Men will find it dread-
ful, appearing before Christ’s tribunal, to answer, not only for their
own personal sins, but for the guilts of others which they have caused.
And, if there was any specifick kind of sin, which I did more espe-
cially dread the danger of, that I were to put up my most earnest suit
to God, to be kept from, as being of the most atrocious provoking na-
ture; I think I should not much mistake in my condescensions, if my
most hearty prayer, when I shall at last stand before the dread judg-
ment-seat of Christ, were, * O God, I pray more particularly, that I
never be found guilty of the most horrid sin of perjury.’ Think what
the character of a perjured person is, in the common verdict of man-
kind, and even in the estimate of our own laws! And is the sin so black
and scandalous, when it is personal; and is it less so, when it is na-
tional? No, certainly it is not; for it is such a most formidable piece
of wickedness, such a horrid crime, a piaculum, as may well be judged
- to forfeit the divine protection, and leave a people and nation, guilty of
it, open to all the rage and malice of the devil, to be hurried on by
him, at his pleasure, from sin to sin, till they fill up the measure of
their iniquity, and the wrath of God come upon them to the uttermost ;
and therefore, to this purpose, most applicable is the admonition of St,
James, wherewith I shall conclude, * but, above all things, my bre-
thren, swear not.”

THE `
DECLARATION

OF THE MOST CHRISTIAN '
KING OF FRANCE AND NAVARRE,

Against the most horrid Proceedings of a rebellious Party of Parlia-
ment-men and Soldiers in England, against their King and Country.
‘Lranslated out of French by P. B.

Lewis the Fourteenth, by the Grace of God, the most Christian King of
France and Navarre, to all Christian Kings, Princes, States, and
People sendeth greeting.

HEREAS we are informed, by our dear aunt, the queen of Eng-
land, of the distressed estate of the king her husband, forced
upon him by a rebellious party of his meanest subjects, under the com-
mand of the Baron of Fairfax, who is likewise countenanced by a
small handful of the basest of the people, crept into the lower house of
parliament, but not being a tenth part thereof, the worthiest being
either imprisoned, or banished by the tyranny of the army, have a de-
sign to proceed against the person and life of their king; which is an
action so detestable, and so destructive to the national rights of princes
and people, who are like io be enslaved thereby, and to know no law,
but that of the sword, that we conceive ourself obliged, by the laws of
God and man, in the duty of a christian, as well as the rights of a
king, either to redeem from bondage the injured person of our neigh-
bour king and uncle, or to revenge all outrages already done, or here-
after which may happen to be done thereupon. ,

Therefore, with the advice of our dear mother the queen-regent, and
council, we do publish and declare our detestation of all such pro-
ceedings, and vow, in the presence of God and his holy angels, a full
revenge upon all actors or abettors of this odious design, to the utter
extirpation of them, their wives, and children out of all parts of Chris-
tendom, wherein our power, or interest, can prevail, if they proceed
to this damnable fact ;- we conceiving it fit to root out from human so-
" ciety such a spurious and viperous generation of men: And we do
therefore prohibit all such persons, their wives, and children to come
into any of our dominions, unless they will be proceeded against, as
traitors to God and nations.

And we do likewise invite all our neighbour kings, princes, and states
in amity with us, or with whom we have any difference, to an honour-
able peace, that we may all join, in God's cause and our own, to re-

venge these hypocritical proceedings of enraged villains, who, we hear,
take the cause of God for their pretence to destroy his ordinance.

And we desire all our neighbour kings, princes, and states to make
the same proclamation, we have done, against any of these, or their
adherents, from coming into their territories; that, when, by God's
justice, and ours and others endeavours, they shall be chaced out of
their native country, they may wander like vagabonds, in heathenish
places, with the odious brands of regicides upon them: And further to
consider, whether that, if the like madness took any of their armics,
they would not implore our helps, as now this afflicted queen and aunt
of ours hath occasion to do theirs, against persons who are now twice
rebels ; first, against their lawful sovereign, upon pretence of reforma-
tion of government; and, now, against the very men and authority,
which raised them for that pretended occasion: Wherein God's justice
is so apparent, that we are confident he will bless this work intended by
us, and which, we hope, will be seconded by all persons of honour and
justice, both at home and abroad, to help to suppress these rebels
against their raisers; who yet presume, upon the success of their arms,
to erect their own base thoughts and fortunes above the limits of reli-
gion or reason, to suppress that authority which God hath set over

ject, after the grievances reckoned up, it says, That, for redress of all
grievances, and for the amending, strengthening, and preserving of the
law, parliaments ought to be held frequently, which must mean fre-
quent parliaments, and not frequent sessions of the same parliament
or our constitution is but little amended by that act. Our ancestors
understood the necessity and wisdom of having frequent parliaments.
Alfred, as you may see in the Mirrour of Justice, chap. i. sect. 3. or-
dained, that the parliament should meet every year twice, or oítener, if
need were, There are many statutes in Edward the Third’s time, that a
parliament should be held once a, year, and oftener, if need be, That
act is ho less than three times reiterated in-his reign. : Acts of the same
import are made in Richard the Second’s; and these acts were made
when prorogations, and long continuances of thesame parliaments, were
notin use. Henry the Sixth’s reign was the first in which prorogations
began at all to be made for any time, and they were but very little used
till Henry the Eighth’s time. But the usual way formerly was to call
a parliament, atleast once a year, and, as soon as their business was
done, to dissolve them, They adjourned themselves for some shert time,
but the king did not prorogue at pleasure. That this.was the constant
practice, I appeal to the parliament rolls; but I do not so much doat
upon antiquity, as to desire to revive that practice, unless I can prove
it reasonable and advantageous. I think it is very much so in the pre-
sent juncture. I cannot be unknown to K. W. how much he has been
libelled, because so. many of his officers were in the house. ‘Those, that
wish him ill, have hit the blot: But it has disgraced him with those
that wish him well. Tt is fit the king should chuse whomsoever he
thinks fit to serve him in his employments; but it will be a matter of
scandal, if the people think their representatives are bought off, whether
by places, or pensions. But, if they are chosen annually, it will not
easily be believed, that an unfair bargain'can be struck with them. Our
taxes will be less heavy, whilst we think our representative assessors pay .
their proportion. How just the clamours and suspicions of mankind
are, I do not determine, but I know they are great, and by every body,
and every where believed, and that by this course they would be avoid-
ed. Jf the accusations are well grounded, if votes are purchased by
places, or most of the members should be more than ten times reim-
bursed their own shares of the pubhick payments; then indeed the safe-
ty, and very being, of our constitution would be struck at, our funda-
mentals would be debauched, our house of commons would become a
parliament of Paris, to do as the court would have them, and nothing
but what they direct; Scotch lords of the articles would be, as it were, -
introduced by a court cabal; and membership would become a pre-
ferment for life, &c. But whatever the malicious say, l am not will-
ing to believe these things have of late, or will be attempted. 1 am only
desirous that it should be made apparent for the future, in every par-
liament that sits, that there is no likelihood that it is debauched, and
that wil! be made apparent by annual parliaments. But, to lay aside
the peculiarity of our present case, let me treat of it under a general
consideration., And I will endeavour to shew the expediency of annual
parliaments; and that J shall endeavour to make good by the nature of

,

REASONS FOR AN ANNUAL PARLIAMENT, &c. 94%

parliaments, and of their delegations; by which it appears, that the
members are delegated by their electors, to supply their places, in ad-
vising, treating, consulting, and determining upon the great and import-
ant aflairs of the nation, "which appear, and are upon the stage, in that
juncture wherein the parliament is summoned. When such a parlia-
ment is continued longer than answers the present occasion. for which
-they were summoned, great inconveniences may, and are likely to fol-
low. A man may be “fit to represent me in one juncture, whom I
might very reasonably judge unfit to do it in another. -A man may be
qualified to advise, consult, and determine about the improvement of
trade, and the manufactures of the nation; and yet may be unfit to
offer advice in the great affairs of peace and war. A man may have
knowledge enough to act in such matters, who may want integrity,
faithfully to represent, and procure redress for grievances, which will
be springing up in any government, When parliaments are annually
chosen, we can chuse our representatives, with an eye to the present
circumstances of affairs, and the present exigencies of the nation. But,
when the same parliaments are continued upon us, we are put upon the
unreasonable task, of prophetically chusing men fit to represent us
amidst the unforeseen and unexpected accidents and affairs which may
fall in, so long as the prince and his ministers think fit to continue the
parliament then summoned. Besides, when the business of the nation
has been, as it were, monopolised for many years, then, whensoever we
have the opportunity of electing a new parliament, we are put upon the
same necessity of chusing a knave skilful in the rules of the house and
parliamentary laws, as we are sometimes in private matters of chusing
one that is expert in pleadings, and the methods of the common law,
though we are not satisfied of his moral honesty ; whereas, if every
body had their turn, in a little time, all the principal freeholders would
be instructed, and directed in the interest of their country.

Again: Delegation imports, in its own nature, a power in the per-
son, or persons, who delegate, to revoke it at his, or their pleasure, and
can be continued no longer than during the time, and particular occa-
sions for which it is granted ; and is understood to be no longer in be-
ng, than the constituents think fit to continue it. And delegates are
always upon their good behaviour. When parliaments are notannually
chosen, but continued during the prince’s pleasure, longer than the
present exigency for which they are called, the natüre of a delegation,
and the undoubted privileges of those that chuse them, are quite al-
tered and overturned, and. the delegation is perpetuated ; though it
should appear that the delegates are unfit for it, or unfaithful under it.
From delegates, whom we ourselves have impowered, they become abso-
lute masters; or, if delegates still, they are transformed from being the
people's delegates and representatives, into the prince's delegates and crea-
tures. By every repeated prorogation the people's commission is can-

celled, and their new being is derived from the prince's will and plea-
sure, and measured out, and continued, according to their ‘humble
compliance with what is demanded from them.

Again: Annual parliaments are best suited to a limited monarchy
(which I hope all Englishmen think the best) annual parliaments cou-

*

242 REASONS FOR AN ANNUAL PARLIAMENT, &e.

tribute most to the ease, safety, and glory of the prince, as well as te
the security and happiness of the subject. By annual parliaments, a
confidence is begotten betwixt the prince and the people; the prince
can scarce demand that, which the people will refuse, when the people
have a confidence in him, and nothing{contributes so much towards that
confidence as annual parliaments. I again say, they remove all the
jealousics which people retain of having their representatives debauch-
ed, which will be suspected when parliaments are continued ; they are
a curb upon designing ministers, who, for selfish and sinister ends, may
be for endeavouring to embroil the king and his people, and many times
have proved very uneasy and ruinous to princes. They remove griev-
ances before they get to such an height as to pinch the people so hard,
as to occasion such loud and unmannerly complaints, as have many
times obliged princes, from a mistaken point of honour, to refuse their
redress; and so have engaged them in unnecessary disputes with the
people, which have lessened the figure, glory, and power of some of our
princes, both here at home, and amongst their neighbours, more
than any other thing in the world. Whereas, when a king of England
does meet his people in parliaments annually chosen, he may reasona-
bly expect to find them fraughted with fresh desires to unite him
closer with his people, to assure him of their confidence and affection,
and to give him earnest of it, and fix him in the heighth of power, re-
putation, and glory. Fora king of England, encircled with a confid-
ing parliament, is then, in his imperial lustre, more glorious than any
monarch of the east; then he infallibly becomes the terror of his foes,
the stay and support of his friends, and the joy, comfort, and darling
of his people.

As to the people, the continuing of the same parliament is a more
fatal, and likely to be a more successful way to blow up all our liber-
ties, than either quo warranto's, regulations, or any other methods prac-

Used in the two last reigns, of which we complained so loudly, and
with so much justice. A prince may more certainly bribe, than quo
warranto, or regulate parliaments. The nation will be awakened at
those irregular steps: But a king may seem to proceed according to
form, when he continues that parliament which he has made pension-
ers. King Charles the Second was his arts-master in this point: He
was no enemy to a long parliament, whilst he had a long list of
many of their names, of whom a certain great man can give a good
account.

It will add weight to what I said, if we find it the practice of the
greatest, wisest, and most renowned nations, to make provision for the
frequency and rotation of their dyets and parliaments. And that the
most glorious and victorious princes of those nations have met most
frequently with their people in parliament. I shall not instance from
our own history ; I suppose no Englishman ignorant how frequently our
Edwards and Henrics puta stop to the course of their victories to meet
their people in parliament. Have not the people of Spain made most
careful provisions for the frequent meeting of their states, with securi-
ties and cautions peculiar to themselves, and much more exact than

REASONS FOR AN ANNUAL PARLIAMENT, &c. 243

what other nations can pretend to? And have not the greatest and
most victorious of their kings been the readiest to enlarge their privi-
leges, and most exact in observing them? Their Sanchoes, their Hen-
ries, their Ferdinands, and their Charles’s were as careful of meeting
their people in their dyets, as of subduing and conquering their ene-
mies: And it is observable, that King Charles, who was most exact in
meeting his people frequently, raised the monarchy of Spain to its
highest pitch of strength and glory; and his son Philip, who offered at
a despotick power, and abhorred the meeting of his people, did first
eclipse the glory of that monarchy, and threw it into that decay and
consumption, under which it laboureth to this day. Did not the
French nation, upon their conquest of, and settlement in Gaul, now
France, establish the frequent meeting of their states? And the most
victorious of their princes have been most exact in mecting of their peo-
ple, oftener than annually, as may be instanced in their Clovis, their
Pepin, Charlemagne, and the successors of Hugh Capet for several ages.
And though Lewis the Eleventh, and most of his successors, have en-
deavoured to suppress the states, and rendered that monarchy despo-
tick, yet it has furnished ground for so many commotions, tumults,
leagues, and rebellions, as have not only frequently put a stop to the
course of their victories, but unravelled all their successes; and the
subjects have many times returned with interest the incroachment of
their princes upon their liberties, and reduced that monarchy to the
last gasp; and the struggles of the people of France, and parliament
of Paris, during the minority of this present king, to recover their lost
liberties, joined "with many other instances which their history affords,
do plainly demonstrate the tottering and dangerous condition of all de-
spotick governments. Again: What miseries, and unspeakable calami-
ties, was Germany exposed to; full of civil wars and discords within,
by the competition of princes for the empire; harrassed and depopu-
lated from without by the Hungarians, Sclavonians, Vandals, and
Danes; to all which no remedy could be found, but by the establishing
of frequent and annual dyets, by the Golden Bull in Charles the
Fourth’s time? wherein the absent princes, imperial cities, and Hans
Towns, who send their deputies, take especial care of changing the deputies
every dyet, lest they should be bribed, and gained by the imperial mi-
nisters. | Dy this wise provision for frequent dyets, peace was settled at
home, competition of titles for the Imperial dignity was extinguished,
foreign invasions repressed, and the whole body preserved in health and
vigour. In a word, their annual dyets were an invincible barrier against
the inundation of ‘the Turks on the one side, and the incroachments of
the French on the other. And it is that only which has preserved them
from being swallowed up betwixt these two troublesome neighbours.
I do omit to instance from Holland, Switzerland, and Poland, which
have hitherto been preserved invincible, by the frequent assemblies of
their states.

Now I have briefly delivered my thoughts for annual parliaments;
give me leave to set down what I think the great and indispensable cha-
racter or qualifications of a parliament-man ; and they are these, sense,
eourage, and integrity.

D

244 REASONS FOR AN ANNUAL PARLIAMENT, &c.'
Sense has divers acceptations ; ; but that sense, that is Bae ei to ca-
pacitate a man for serving usefully within those walls, is not the ' learn-.
ing of universities, but the knowledge of England. A sense of liberty, ^
of what is meant by our rights and properties: : A sense of our laws.
and interest, of the nature di our government, of our trade, of our
natural strength and welfare. It cannot be Jead but that the com-
paring of the histories of other nations, the reading over the svsteris of
policy, and the lives of the great and exemplary patriots oi hberty in
all countries, mightily enlarge their understandings, and adorn the
great speakers in that assembly ; ; bat, ifa man has not reduced all that
to the use of this island, he has not the sense requisite for this post. If
his head is never so full of the ideas of foreign constitutions, if he is not
wise as to our home matters; if he has travelled never so far for expe-
rience; ifheis a stranger to the isle of Britain; he may make a loqua-

‘cious politician, a florid orator, a statesman in speculation, but he will

never make a vencrable member of our parliament. A man that un-
derstands but well our English manufactory, the natural products of
our country. the balance of merchandizing, what importations and cx-
portations are to be prohibited or encouraged, what are the grievances
the people complain of, which of them are reasdnable to be redressed,
and what are the proper methods of doing it; he that knows how much
we can give, what is fit to be given, and can examine how what we have
given is laid out, is more fuily qualified for our senate-house, than if
he could discourse of government, better than all those learned men,
who pretend so nicely to understand and distinguish the several sorts?
If the countries and corporations have any thing particular, in relation
to their counties and corporations to be represented, they ought to chuse
one that understands the nature of what they would have represented,
or that is at least capable of being throughly instructed in that mat-
ter. But at the same time that they chuse one for their particular pur.
pose, they ought to consider that he votes for the whole common-
wealth, and therefore they must not chuse any man that is addict-
ed only to their interest, but should always deliberate whether he -
is of a publick and universal spirit, as well asa proper advocate for
them. But this will come in more properly, when i speak concerning
integrity.

The next qualification is courage. Although the word Parliament
signifies to speak trecly the mind, and though liberty of speech is al-
ways granted to all parliaments, yet courage is necessary upon many:
accounts 5 it is often necessary to withstand "the frowns of a prince; if
is necessary to bear a man above popular clamour; itis neccssary when
peace and war is debated. ‘There has scarce been any reign wherein
the princes have not hectored some of the members: There is scarce
any sessions, butarts are used to stir up the people against their own
interest; and, ifa parliament house, upon the noise of a war, should
be seized with a panick fear, the whole nation would soon be dispirit-

„ed; so that it is necessary to have courage to preserve his own inte-

grity, and to uphold the hearts of those that he represents.
Again, whoever would discharge the office of a good senator, must

E ',
have integrity that is proof against gain, against fear and sollicitation.
If he can be affrighted, or bribed, or over-ruled out of his own sense of
things, he is not fit for that place. Preferments may be added to, but
miust not change the man, ‘Threats must make him more watchful and
resolute, and he must be sure to distinguish between insinuation and
argument. He must consider himself as a publick man; he must not
know his own. interest, or the interest of the place from whence he
comes. When the general good of England comes in competition, he
must consider himself as well, and more the representative of England
than of that county or town for which he serves: But, when he has
considered the national interest, then in gratitude and duty he is to
consider the interest of the body of the electors, more than his own private
advantage; he is to strip himself of all relation, and to be a kin to the
commonwealth. His soul must soar up into the exalted height of an he-
roical virtue, and he is to believe that it is a pleasureable and noble en-
joyment even to sacrifice himself and all private considerations for his
country; he is to lay aside-all private capacities, and, as it were, to
transmigrate into a publick alliance and affinity, Cum calculis suffragio-
rum sumeret magnanmitatim rcipublice, as Demosthenes used to advise
the people of, Athens in great causes of estate: He used to advise, that,
when they took into their hands the balls, whereby to give their voices
(according to the manner then in practice at Athens) they should raise
their thoughts, and lay aside those considerations, which their private
vocations and degrees might minister and represent unto them; and
should take upon them cogitations and-minds agreeable to the dignity
of the state: And there is good reason for this advice; for, certainly,
if a man shall be only or chiefly sensible of those respects which his
particular vocation or degree, or the state of the county or town which
sends him, shall suggest and infuse into him, and not enter into true
and worthy considerations of estate, he shail never be able aright te

‘give or take counsel in parliamentary affairs, in the business of the se-

nate-house.

The notion of integrity has been too much mistaken of late, The
being of a*particular church or party has christened men honest ; and
in this last parliament pretending to be for king William, has gained
those that epithet, who never understood a king as the father of his

' country ; who make his political capacity above the laws of men, if I

may not say the laws of God too, Integrity, in the monarchy of Eng-

. land, implies more of a national than slavish Spirit, more of coinmon

care than personal adoration ; and it is sad to think, that any knave
can redintegrate his reputation, only by being a Williamite, without
being converted to an Englishman. ‘Those cannot be thought (let
them be as much Williamites as they will) to preserve the integrity of
a parliament-man, who change or stifle their principles for a place;
nor can those be thought fit members for that house, who, either for
their pleasure, or private business, neglect coming up to town, no
more than those. who have so many offices, that they can scarce peep
within those doors, or who are so lazy and loitering, that they come
not till it is too late to hinder them, and so suffer the pation to be

*

246 REASONS FOR AN ANNUAL PARLIAMENT, &c.

circumvented by the artifices and tricks of the court, who always
set them on foot, when the house is empty. I would have my coun-
trymen beware (if ever they chuse again) of these self-interested and
careless men. They ought, now their All is at stake, to examine how
their members have behaved themselves, whether they have been ten-
der of the liberty of our persons, frugal of our fortunes, bold against
male administration, prosecutors of crimes, and not persecutors of
men. Sense, courage, and integritv are necessary to make a man be-
have himself as he ought, in these important points. Let them chuse
no MAN that has not sense, courage, and integrity, or that will not
receive their instructions. There are no counties, and few towns,
wherein they do not understand the interest of their country enough
to give general instructions. Let me recommend those to them I
have hinted at in this paper; order them to bring in bills to regulate

the militia, to encourage the use of firelocks amongst the populace, `

to increase our navy, to reduce all our part of the war to that navy ;
to settle such salaries upon the judges as may make them impar-
tial: And, above all things, order them to bring in a bill to secure
annual parliaments, and the elections of members for the future.
Advise them to ransack all our own records, and to consult all the
several governments upon that head. Chuse but once wise and honest
brave men, and they will find expedients to avoid the disputes, and
baffle the arts which have rendered elections precarious and illegal.
They will find methods to be too hard for court-tricks, and spend-
thrift competitors. Chuse no man that is not willing to be instruct-
ed, you have a right to instruct them: It was the custom former-
ly to instruct all the members; and the nature of the deputation shews,
that that custom was well grounded. s

To conclude. Thus have I given my thoughts freely, as to two
material points ; viz. the old English right of annual parliaments (for
& more ample account of which, I must refer my reader to Mr.
Johnson's essay on that subject) and the qualifications requisite in
such as represent the good people of England in the lower house;
which I have done, without regard to any party or interest but that
of my country. 1f what I have said shall have any influence on my
fellow subjects, in the present elections; and on those that represent
them when they come together, in order to obtain an act for the chu-
sing of parliaments yearly, I shall obtain my utmost aim,

HOW TO ADVANCE THE TRADE

OF
THE NATION,
AND TO EMPLOY THE POOR.

Folio, containing four pages.

—
—

Humbly offered to the Honourable the Knights, Citizens, and Burgesses
assembled in Parliament.

( e employ our poor, and advance the trade of the nation, are
matters of great concern at this time. This honourable assembly
are not insensible of the abundance of complaints throughout the king-
dom in general in most trades, for want of sale for their goods. It is
supposed there may be five.hundred thousand poor of one sort or other
in the nation; and if these poor are to be put to work on the same
manufactories which we are over-stocked with already, what will be
done with all those goods so many thousand hands shall make more every
year? It is but undoing in one place to make another. ‘The merchants
generally send but very little more to markets abroad one year than
auother; they commonly know what quantities of goods will glut each
market abroad. Most commodities and manufactories are brought to
so low an ebb, thatslow workmen cannot get their living at their trades,
and many of such, with their families, are become the poor of the
parish wherein they are; yet the slowest of handicraft tradesmen will
out-do those poor which never wrought before in each trade, if they
were put into a work-house together; and for any number of persons
joining together to employ the poor in the woollen manufactories, or
any other where the price is beat down to so low a rate that the slow
workmen cannot maintain themselves, what those persons gain by such
poor is by oppressing the oppressed, and the cries of them will rage
against the kingdom and government, because of the hard usage of
several of their task-masters for lucre of gain to themselves. The poor
ought to be encouraged, and mercifully c dealt with, and kindly used,
until their slow hands us brought to ready working, and ought at first
to have the highest price the commodity will bear to hoan o and their
overseers, and master-workmen that teach them, be paid by the parish;
it is sufficient advantage for them if they can in some small time bring
those poor to maintain themselves, which has been so burthensome to
them heretofore. But how tosct so many hands at work i at this time,
when trade is at so low an ebb, requires great consideration ; and several

manufactories, Which at present are Manuele abroad, must be
encouraged at home. There are several commodities in this kingdom,
which cannot be had in any ofour neighbouring countries, which ought
to be wrought up at home; but we encourage foreign wrought goods to
be brought. here, and E our unwrought goods to our neighbouring
countries, who manufacture the same, ‘By such methods we may well
wonder what is become of the trade of the nation, whereby our mer-
chants are undersold at markets abroad in those commodities which
cannot be well bad elsewhere but from England ; which, if they were
manufactured at home, and kept amongst our merchants to export, it

- would be an inlet to the selling of several other commodities, which are
supplied now by the Dutch, and others of our neighbouring countries,
But our trade is over-burthened by duties laid on our wiought goods,
and our unwrought encouraged to be expected, with several other
obstructions too tedious to set forth ; by which the poor tradesmen and
their families are become a far greater tax to the nation than all that
the king's customs amount to.

Likewise in our merchants goods, which aré imported and exported
again in less than a year, are allowed to draw back the duty so formerly
paid by them, if the property be not altered, by chipping, cutting,
grinding, garbling, shaving, or rasping, or otherways altering thereof;
so that the Dutch and other countries employ their poor, in doing that
which ours ought to do; by which their merchants serve abundance of -
markets abroad with such goods as we cannot do, because, if the property
be altered, the draw-back will not be allowed ; which is in several goods
about twenty-five pounds per cent. which is a. great hindrance to the
merchant, and quite loses the profit of working the same here. And
suppose the property should be altered, so that the same be exported
in time, it would occasion a greater employ of the poor, and it would be
no detriment or hindrance to the King in his custems, nor obstruct our
navigation, and our merchants may serve other countries with those
commodities as well as the Dutch and others.

The Dutch consider how to employ their poor, and prepare all the
work they possibly can contrive for them; and all goods, which are

* capable of labour, they commonly have it done before they will part
with it; which is the reason they have none but what get their living at
one thing or other. They employ their poor in rasping dyers woods,
which they have commonly from us, and serve all markets abroad with
- that commodity, which we cannot do, by reason of that obstruction at
"the custom-house, in not allowing the draw-back where the property
is altered. | And in abundance of other goods too long to insert here.

The Dutch buy their hemp at Riga, and other places where we buy
ours; but they employ their people to manufacture the same into sail-
cloth, and they import it on us, and we, to encourage them, use it for
our royal navy, and all our merchants ships, and all other small vessels,
hoys, busses, lighters, and boat-sails ; which trade, were it encouraged
here, would go a great way in the maintenance of our poor, and areat
gain is to be had thereby. We had at first our woollen manufactory from
the Dutch, we sold them wool and fulling-clay, and we took their
woollen-cloth. , and now we take their sail-cloth; but after we prohi-

bited our wool and fulling-earth from being sent to Holland, and their
cloth from coming here, it put our workmen on invention, and in a
little time we became the famousest at that trade in the world ; and so
we might be as well at sail-cloth, were we encouraged, and the Dutch
discouraged. We ought to contrive all ways to employ our poor, and
keep within ourselves the working up of all our own commodities; as
leather, lead, fulling-clay, wool, copper, Calaminaris, tin, pewter, and
all other of our own product. The planting of trees is neglected, by
which in a little time we shall lose the making of iron and steel, the
refining our brass and other metals, and great part of our lands lie
waste and barren, not cleared or tilled, whilst thousands of our people
want employment, and many thousands hide themselves in obscurity,
in places remote from their beings, for fear of arrests, who are not able
to pay their debts, and would willingly fly any where for refuge. Bad
debts contracted to relieve some in necessity, and many others in prisons
without any satisfaction to the creditor but revenge, and their families
become chargeable to the parishes wherein they are; many by their
poverty, are driven to the last extremity, take to ill courses to rob and
steal, and our counties sued; great sums of money paid for appre-
hending and trying these robbers, and several other great mischiefs occa-
sioned by poverty, which is burthensome to the country; which if all
matters were computed is more loss to the nation than the charge will
amount toin clearing most of our barren lands throughout the king-
dom; and rightly considering, so sure as the people work in clearing
and tilling the ground, so consequently those lands will be so much
richer, and what is laid out will bring in again with considerable profit,
and inrich the nation. It would be better for the kingdom in general,
that there were a tax laid on every parish to regulate these great mis-
chiefs, than to lie under the burthen thereof, without any hopes of
relief. Therefore this following method is humbly proposed,

By William Goffe.

THE PROPOSALS.

Imprimis, That there be a tax laid on every parish throughout the
kingdom, according to the poor tax-rate, to be continued for three years,
and paid quarterly. oie

2. That there be six pounds per cent, per annum, allowed to any
person or persons who shall lend the said three years tax at once, that
there may be money sufficient to carry on the undertaking,

3. Near each fishing-port throughout the kingdom, there are com-

monly barren lands, which may be rented at four pence or six pence,
_ per annum, an acre. i.

4. That a convenient parcel of such lands, near each fishing-port,
be rented or purchased at the nation's charge, to erect fishing factories
on, for sowing hemp and flax, and planting of trees, such as are con-
venient or building of ships, hoys, and busses. GM

^

OF THE NATION, &c. ‘ 253

5. That there be some knowing men chosen out of the neighbouring
parishes, near each of these fishing-ports, to mark out the land into
parcels, and that they ascertain the price of every acre what the labour
is worth to clear the same.

6. That there be a proclamation published throughout the kingdom,
that all persons that are willing to work in clearing those lands, at the
price ascertained, shall have ready money for their labour as they con-
stantly do their work; and each of them shall have ground given them
to build a heuse on free. And all those who arein debt, and do deli-
‘ver up to their creditors all the effects they have, wearing apparel and -

. household goods only excepted, shall be protected from being arrested
or molested from any such debt or debts; and all tradesmen likewise,
that are willing to inbabit or settle there on any of the fishing-factories,
shall be likewise protected.

7. That these persons shall not be protected at any other place or
places, but at these fishing.ports or factories, or whilst these persons
are fishing or sclling their fish in any other markets throughout the
kingdom.

8. And that whereas, at most of these ports are places, where wool is
commonly sent away at stealth, and prohibited, and other custom-goods
privately run a-shore, that any person belonging to these fishing-factories,
who shall seize any of such goods, shall be allowed one half-part of all
such goods, to themselves.

9. That, at every of these fishing-ports, there be four fishing-busses
belonging to each factory, with all nets and other fishing-tackle, pro~
vided with the master, and, manned with fishermen to teach the people
to catch fish, and they to be paid first, at the publick charge. And
all those belonging to these factories, hat are willing to. go a fishing,
may every one take their turn each month; and TAS two thirds of all
such fish be divided amongst those who go a fishing; the other third of
the fish to be sold, and applied towards wear and tear and charges in
nets and tackle. And, that some of the masters and officers belonging
to the neighbouring parishes be chosen to take charge of the same, and
see all things performed.

10, That, in every of these factorics, some of the military officers be
appointed to discipline these men, every week or fortnight, and they to
be the governors over these people, at each of these fishing factories;
the men to be paid by the publick, those days they exercise. ` |

. That all the parishes throughout the kingdom do send their
ablest poor to be employed at these factories; some to dig, plant, and
till the ground, and the others to be employed to work up the hemp and
flax, and to make sail-cloth, cordage, nets, twine, lines, and sails 3
the women to spin, and make coarse linnen, &c. and, as the profits
come in by this undertaking, the pagtae will abate throughout the
kingdom. hos

12. That there be a large work- -house, or work-houses, erected at
every of these fishing-ports, and that there be master- workmen, paid
at the publick charge, to teach the people to work, which, in time,
will teach one another; that these master-workmen be men of know-
ledge and understanding in making of sail-cloth, nets, cordage, twine

R3

254 HOW TO ADVANCE THE TRADE, &c.

lines, and all other necessaries belonging to the fishing-trade. And
that they do take care, that the people's stock f goods be not em-
bezzled, and that they do give account to the masters of the neighbour-
ing parishes, who shall be appointed for that purpose every week, and
that they be appointed to pay and reccive all goods, and to keep the
stores, and give an account of all rising profits.

13. That, in every particular sort of work the full current price for
every thing be ascertained, and that they be allowed a sufficient rate
for their work, until their slow hands be brought to quick working, for
afterwards, the price will fall in course, and those which are become
used to clearing of lands will take lands of their own accord, and
clear it to get themselves a livelihood; and so likewise, in fishing, they
will in time be able to join together, and go a fishing at their own
charge, when they find the profit thereof.

14. To encourage this undertaking, that all the sail-cloth which shall
be used for the royal navy be wrought up at these workhouses belong-
ing to these fishing-factories; and to bring the merchant-men to buy
theirs, in the nation, the following method is proposed :

15. That there be a high duty laid on all new sails of foreign-made
cloth, which shall be used to any of our English ships, hoys, lighters,
busses, boats, or any others; that the duty be collected at the custom-
house, which will in time hinder merchant-men, and others, from
buying their sails at markets abroad; and that all our sail-cloth be
made with some blue stripe or other mark through every piece.

16. Thatall foreign nets be prohibited from being imported, because
now most nets come from France and other parts.

17. That in every parish throughout the kingdom there be work-
houses erected; and, instead of supplying the poor's necessities with
money, as now they do, that they be obliged to supply them with a
stock of goods to work up, and let them have the full price for the
same, It is better for each parish to receive goods, which carry the
intrinsick value with them, than to lose all the money so gathered every
year, as they now do.

18. That all charity-money, voluntarily given by any person or
persons to the poor of each parish, be laid out in unwrought goods,
and equally divided, to every one share and share alike; and that the
parish be obliged to take all such goods so made by the poor, and give
them ready moncy for the same, or more stock of unwrought goods to
put them to work again.

19. That the poor be most encouraged to work on those commodities,
which at present are wrought beyond sea, as,. sail-cloth, hemp and flax-
dressing, making of coarse linnen and woollen-cloth, &c. We ought
o consider how to force all trades, and how to find as much employ-
ment for our trades, as possible; therefore it is proposed,

20. That all foreign hemp and flax be imported duty-free.

21. That there bea high duty laid on all unwrought lead and tin
exported. ;

22. Thatall manufactured lead, or tin, be exported duty-free.

23. That there be a duty laid on all fulling-earth, tobacco-pipe
clay, and calaminaris, to be paid at the pit, at so much a yard, or

rod; and M to be dug without dath first made, and a certifi-
cate from the next justice of the peace, of what quantity, and what
use, and where to be seat, and the duty gathered by those of the parish,
who collect the King's tax, &c. For the duty-sake these pits will be
taken notice of, which will hinder the carrying it away by stealth.

24. That there be a duty laid on all unwrought leather exported.

25. That all leather, manufactured into shoes, boots, harnesses, &c.
be exported duty free.

26. That all raw silks, cotton, or any other commodities, which are
useful to employ the tradesmen, imported, may not be allowed any
draw-back at the custom-house on exportation, as in other goods, which
will hinder merchants from exporting them abroad again, that our
' tradesmen may be supplied, as cheap as our neighbouring countries,
with those goods they want to put them to work.

27. That all goods, which are imported, and exported again in time,
may be allowed the usual draw-back at the custom-house, as well in
goods where the property is altered, as in others where the property is
not altered; by which means several of our poor may be employed,
and all those who want work, and are in debt, and have not to pay,
will flock to these fishing-factories; and, instead of lying in jails, and
their families becoming burdensome to the parishes, we shall have our
barren lands cleared, tilled, manured, and well wooded with fine groves
of trees fit to build shipping; which will shelter those bleak and wild
places; and those ports in time will become famous fish-markets, and
these men well disciplined, which will be good outguardsfor our kingdom,
ready to assist in time of necessity, and will breed up a nursery of sea-
men ready to man our royal navy on any occasion. By this, our lands
and our livings will be secure from the attempts of any foreign enemy,
our trade will flourish, and our poor be provided for, and will be an
everlasting safety and happiness to our kingdom and government : Which
God long preserve.

THE STATE GAMESTERS, &c.

The noddy gamesters, haying drunk too hard,
Could not distinguish knave from other card;

But like true Scots, being eager of the cup,

They cou'd not tell the game when it was up.
Instead of minding how the cards were laid,

Fell all asleep, while other gamesters play'd;

But, being wak’d to pay their drunken scores,

They chang’d their noddy game into all-fours :

And then, with one consent, new cards they buy,
And vow'd they'd play the strict severity.

A cunning blade, that knew each card i’th’ pack,
And gain'd experience in the art that’s black :

Says he, ** PI fairly lay the cards all down,

And hold a wager of an even crown,

That we will have both lowest, Jack, and game,
Tho’ you have shuffled them, and cut the same.”
With that the cards being dealt about again,

Instead of Jack, comes up a single ten;

And clubs were trumps, at which the standers-by
Cry'd it was foul play, ahd gavethis reason why,
Because the king o’th’ hearts, which should have come,
Was put below the knave, by th’ dealer's thumb.
So quick and nimble was that card convey'd,

None knew how it was dealt, nor how ’twas play'd.
But yet the other gamesters hop'd that Jack

Was not in hand, but still among the pack.
Yetsome, who fear'd the worst, were in the dumps,
Lest Jack, next time, heshould be turn'd up trumps.
Says one, * Chear up, I’ve cards I will not name, .
Tho’ they are lowest, we'll secure the game;

And, if we lose it, then we are to blame,’ :
With that he play'd the queen, a card of honour,
But t'other threw the knave of trumps upon her;
When those, that betted, saw the queen was lost,
They knew which way the game was riding post.
(Yet, like true voters ata new election,

Who scorn to yield it up by bare inspection,

Cali fora poll, and so, by telling noses, : r
Know which side wins, and which side’tis that loses.)
So these bigh gamesters, they would tell for game,
For chalks, on both sides, are the very same.

But, seeing them produce two knaves and Jack,
Concluded they had all the knaves i'th' pack.

Alas! say they, what good doth highest do,

When they have got both Jack and lowest tou?
Besides, we now must yield our game is gone,

For you have got three knaves to our one ;

Which proves the proverb true, just to a letter,
Most knaves in number makes men’s luck the better,

Dear Brother, i

HE unhappy flames which of late have been blown up among us,

by interesting ourselves in the disputes between the bishops and

the lower house of convocation, and the unkind reflexions which are
but too often cast upon the greater part of those venerable prelates by
many even of our order, I conceive to beso great an offence to Al-
mighty God, so dangerous to the welfare of our church, and to be such
a reproach to our holy religion, that I cannot think it a great degree
of forwardness in myself, or in any other, to endeavour whatever may

lie in our power to compose those sad differences and animosities, the
consequences whereof look so very fatal towards us. ‘This is the occa-
sion of troubling you with this letter; in which I shall take the liberty
to excuse myself from making animadversions upon any miscarriages of
our superiors, which some of them, by inadvertency, and the common
frailty of human nature, may have fallen into, that being a part which
I cannot think myself by duty called to, nor to be becoming a person
who moves in so mean a sphere as I; and besides, I fancy 1 sball find
matter enough to fill up this letter, in pointing at the faults which we
are guilty of on our side, and shewing, that we have taken up very
mistaken characters of very good ae men, by taxing them
for actions with which they are no wa¥s chargeable, or for which they

are no ways blameable.

I. And indeed it is very dismal to consider what vile reproaches are
cast upon the greatest part of those reverend persons by too many of
our own coat: To hear us so frequently taxing them as affecting a ty-
rannical, despotick power over the clergy, as being betrayers of the
common liberties of the church, mercenary instruments and parasites of
the court, fanaticks in their hearts, and avowed enemies of every part
of our ecclesiastical constitution, unless it be the fair revenues which
they have the happiness to enjoy under it. - For clergymen to utter
these things in their discourse, both publick and private, and to publish
the like, by writings, to the whole world, can be no ways suitable to the
rules of the holy religion we profess, nor to the character we sustain
in God’s church ; and, I think I may add, does bid the utmost defiance
to the principles of the church of England, which bespeak the highest
esteem and veneration for the order of bishops. This isa practice which
there is none of us, some time past, but would have condemned with the
greatest abhorrence and detestation. Let us, for once, suppose some
body to have prophesied fourteen or fifteen years ago, that many of us
who then valued ourselves so much upon our duty and obedience to
our bishops, and passed such severe reflexions upon the undutiful car-
riage of others, that we should, within a few years, treat them with so
an unhandsome deportment, and give them all those good compliments
which have been so freely of late bestowed upon them, would not
every one of us have been ready to return, with indignation, that of

Hazael, * Is thy servant a dog, that he should do this thing? This, my '

good brother, does deserve a deep and serious reflexion; for these gos-
pel duties, you know, are of eternal verity, and will beas true a thou-
sand years hence, as they were twenty years ago; nor can I imagine
that any one of us does think that a part of our religion can grow in or
out of fashion, as people's clothes do. If there are no dutics owing to
our diocesans, we ought to recant the error we were in, by betraying
the dignity of our own order, whilst we were, in time past, so liberally
paying them; or, if there be any regards owing, the methods, which
have been of late taken, have been but a pretty odd way of discharging
them. And, since we are entered upon this point, I will beg the trec-
dom to recommend to your consideration something farther upon it :
And let us consider,

s

464 “A LETTER FROM A COUNTRY `

If. That the very raillery we, some of us, are wont to exert upon
this occasion, if it was not levelled at our superiors, and the ground of it
was never so well bottomed, is a part not altogether becoming our
function. We that are the ministers of Jesus € "are obliged more

nicely to follow our great Master's copy and example, who, * when he `

was reviled, reviled not again, A christian pastor can never look with
so ill a grace, as when he assumes the character of a droll, or a satyr.
Sarcasm and buffoonery are at best but a sorry part of wit, and, I am
confident, no part at all of religion. We frequently are commanded
in scripture to afford to those who are committed to our charge a shin-
ing example of peaceableness and charity, but I cannot observe, that
God has any where commissioned us a power to instruct them in the
arts of taunts and invectives. This vile trade, we know well enough,
was taken up by the accursed enemies of christianity. "The Lucians,

and Julians, and Celsus's, had singular talents this way, and did a great .

deal of mischief to the gospel by them; but I am at a loss to find
when it received any benefit from ill-natured wits. The gospel thrived
well by the meekness and patience of its first professors, and by such
holy steps made its way over all the Pagan world, whilst heathenism,
which was supported by the drollery and satyr of its philosophers, did
daily lose ground, till it fell at last into nothing. This is argument
sufficient to persuade us, that we pursue but very ill advised methods,
whilst we are carrying on a cause that we are willing to have succeed,
by means which are such a reproach to our profession, which shew so
il] an example to our people, and which we have not the least hopes to
expect, that God Almighty will crown with any manner of blessing.
Now, if we would seriously apply this, we should have an end of such
smart books, and fine jests upon our bishops, especially if we con-
sidered, that these jests are not only very unmannerly, as being ad-
vanced against our betters, but do likewise share a great degree of ir-
religion and. profaneness; for those holy persons, who, by their office,
do bear so nigh a relation to our blessed Lord, cannot be so unhand-
somely sported with, without reflecting a reproach also upon Christ
and his religion.

HI. And as I look upon it 3 great fault to make use of such un-
handsome drollery upon our diocesans, so I take it to be a very impru-
dent and unchristian way for us to trumpet about their faults, although
they were guilty of them in those particulars, and in that degree, as
some of us pretend. It isa kind of a natural law, which the vilest of
men are scarce hardy enough to transgress, not to vilify those of our
own body, and which bear any nigh relation to us. Those unkind of-
fices are left for strangers only to execute, every wise person esteeming
it a madness to discover those defects which must, in the event, reflect
upon himself. For the contempt, which one part of the body suffers,
is, by an easy deduction, transferrable to the other. We of the clergy
are apt to be loaded enough, of all conscience, by other people with-
out doors; and the bishops of the church do find sufficient opposition
from papists and sectaries; therefore, I presume, we clergymen are
not, at that time, in the most warrantable employment, when we our-

i

CLERGYMAN TO HIS BROTHER, &c. 265

selves are proclaiming to the world what ill actions we impute to our
bishops. If, as a late ingenious author says, * that those men who read
lessons to princes, how to strain ecclesiastical power to the utmost,
without exceeding it, be church Empsons and Dudleys,’ I think I
may as well conclude (if I delighted in hard words) that those who ac-
cuse the bishops of their own church for such ill men as some of our
order do, are church Hams and Judas’s, for discovering their father’s
nakedness, and betraying their spiritual governors.

IV. In the next place, it behoves a little to consider, before we make
too bold with our bishops characters, how much we gratify our com-
mon enemies of all sorts, and expose our mother-church, by such a re-
presentation of the governors thereof, to the scorn and obloquy of those
who greedily watch for such opportunities to revile us. Don't you
think, that this must needs give a powerful encouragement to the severat
sectaries among us to come into the church, the governors whereof
they see set off in those delicate colours, which some of us of late have
so liberally adorned them with? What a curious history of English
bishops must we expect from the next Popish pamphlets that come over
from Doway and St. Omers? And what domestick authorities will be
vouched to make their slanders good? It is easy enough to imagine,
and common enough to observe, what fine sport the quarrels with our
bishops make among our atheists and deists. Sometimes they take a
handle from these differences to expose the bishops for “ affecting an
incompetent power, and for minding no part of their office so much, as
to lord it over their fellow-shepherds ; deny this, and they call upon the
authorities of many of the clergy to assert it; and then it goes for unde-
niable. At other times they are pleased to be quit with these authori-
ties themselves, and call them all a parcel of hypocritical sparks, that
make a world of stir with duty and obedience, till it begins to pinch
them, and then they fly in the face of the king and bishops without
fear or discretion, One would think, that we are under a perfect in-
fatuation to make ourselves, and the religion and church we are mi-
nisters of, a jest and mockery to these prophane wretches. But the
highest degree of madness is, for some of us, to court the favour of
these very men to support us against our bishops, and lay open their
character so unhandsomely before such men. Certainly the affairs of
the church are safer in the hands of the most tyrannical bishops, than
of them who are enemies to all religion: Neither are the presbyters
like to find any extraordinary redress from them, who look upon the
whole function to be impostors alike.

It is no excuse to say, that this freedom taken with the bishops is
but by way of reprisal, to be even with a writer on the bishops side,
who took as great a freedom with the inferior clergy. I must confess
that I, for my part, and a great many other indifferent persons, never
liked that part of that writer’s book; and I think his cause had not
been the worse, if it had been spared. But let him answer for that
Now as these reproaches did not proceed from the bishops, so this
is the unjustest way of retaliation, to make them suffer for the faults
of others; or, if the bishops had any share in promoting them, our holy

266 A LETTER FROM A COUNTRY

religion has taught us a better lesson, than to “ return evil forevil.” If
one ` part of the clergy have been falsely traduced, we should be cau-
tious how we involve the remaining part under the same imputation,
What sad events will follow upon the keenness of these disputes God
alone knows; but this I am sure of, that, between this writer and his
answerer, the church of England has suffered more in her reputation
than will easily be retrieved: For the bishops are represented in such
a dress by the one, and the presbyters by the other, that it wants only
the hand of a Sanders or a Parsons to put them both together ; and then
out comes such a picture of the English reformation, as will make us
all curse these unhappy disputes which have brought such shame upon
us,

V. If these considerations be not of weight enough to make us leave
off this prevailing custom of aspersing our bishops, I shall add one
more, and that is our oath of canonical obedience. Now we all know
what canonical obedience is, viz. all that respect and submission, which
the canons require to be paid to our diocesans. An injurious accuser of
a bishop is by the canons to have a perpetual brand of infamy fixed
upon him, and to be excommunicated: An obedience is to be paid
them ‘in omnibus licitis & honestis, &c.” Now I cannot tell how to re-
concile an ignominious treatment and bespattering their character with
the ecclesiastical precepts. which we swear to. Our guilt must needs
stare some of us in the face, when we reflect upon this ; as having taken
no more care to discharge these obligations which we have so sacredly |
engaged to perform. ‘This were a grievous crime, though there were
sufficient ground for these clamours against our diocesans, especially
to do it in the way that is generally practised; but, when there is so
little foundation for these heavy imputations, I conceive it to be such
an aggravation of the fault, as we can never be easy under, when we
seriously lay it to heart. And, therefore, in the remaining part of this
letter, I shall set myself to vindicate our present bench of. bishops from
these aspersions, which either by unthinking, or designing men, have of
late so plentifully been thrown upon them.

VI. One fault, which is mightily laid to their charge, is, their being
of latitudinarian principles as they are called, that is, no hearty friends
to our ecclesiastical constitution, but are rather inclined to the dissen-
ters tenets, and endeavour by all means to bring the church to the con-
venticle level; and that it is in order to this end they are so very fond
of setting a comprehension on foot, thereby to destroy our present
church establishment and discipline, and set up something else which
likes them better. But what a ridiculous ‘calumny is this? To think
that the bishops, who enjoy so. great a share in the church’s revenues,
should be engaged ina design of pulling it down; this would be sucha
degree of self-denial, that their adversaries in other cases would hardly
allow them. But how do they know that these bishops have such a
disliking to the ecclesiastical settlement? If men’s principles are to. be
discovered by their words and actions, the pesent bishops have both
on their side to vindicate them from this asersion. ‘Their frequent

CLERGYMAN TO HIS BROTHER, &c. 267

subscriptions to the articles, their usual discourse both in publick and
private, together with their sermons, are all of them in.contradiction to
what is here objected. There are several of them, who have strenu-
. ously wrote in defence of our constitution; witness the cases against
the dissenters, which were mostly wrote by ‘the pens of those very men
who are thus calumniated. "Though, by the way, I do not find in my
accounts that any great number of those who bear so hard upon the
bishops, and put so much upon this head, did give any hand to this no-
ble work; therefore methinks it is pretty strauge, that the present
bishops sbould commence fanaticks for writing so bravely against the
schism, and others should be the only church of England men for be-
ing silent under it. As for the matters of alteration. which were on
foot about a dozen years ago, these present bishops are not more to be
blamed for them, than those other bishops who declared to the late king
James, that they would be willing to come to such a temper. as that all
differences in religion, as far as possible, might be composcd among us.
‘This was not thought such an offence, when the resolution was first
made, and therefore why are they so much to be blamed for endea-
vouring afterwards to make their words good? The unlucky disputes,
which then happened, run up men’s bloods so high, and frightened
them with such misapprehensions. of some strange designs upon the
church in that affair, that those bishops, who appeared in behalf of
that project, could hardly recover the hearty affections of their clergy
ever since. And, if we consider the loud clamours which have been
raised against some of their lordships about this business, one could not
think but that they were contriving at that time the very unhinging of
our whole constitution. And yet I am fully assured, that all, that was
then designed, was no more ihan the changing a few apochryphal les-
sons for canonical scripture; appointing the new translation of the
, Psalms for singing and reading in lieu of the old; making all the col-
lects agree more with the epistles and gospels, as was begun, though
abruptly left off by the commissioners at the Savoy, in 1662, and
Changing an exceptionable passage or two in the other services. I
could wish their lordships would be so just to themselves as to publish
the resolutions of the committee in Jerusalem chamber ; and then I am
persuaded, that we should all be of opinion that their lordships are so
far from meriting the reproach, which is for that reason thrown upon
them, that they would appear to deserve the highest commendation.
And, since people have grown cool upon that matter, I hardly find any
id man, who pretends to find more fault now, than ill timing of
„that design. But, by the way, is it not a little hard, that we should
bear a perpetual enmity to our bishops for the ill timing of an action ?
Nay, this was no more than what was before designed in the Compre-
hension bill in the lords house, which was liked well enough by some
of those persons who appeared so keenly, against the commission, and
the treating of that effair in convocation, afterwards; though, upon
what reason, they changed their opinion, Í pretend not to secret bis-
tory enough to understand ; unless they began to dislike it, because
some. other persons, besides themselves, came to take a part in the
‘doing it, '

` s2

268 A LETTER FROM A COUNTRY

VII. Another misapprehension of their lordships actions, and which
the generality of people. at present, seem to be the most incurably pos-
sessed with, is, concerning their voting in parliament, always, as jt is
said, on the governments side; whereby, it is pretended, they give
occasion to suspect, that they are not always led by impartial consider-
ations ; but exert their zeal in that interest, which is best able to re-
ward them with higher preferments. This, I know, is a terrible cry,
among the atheists and jacobites, aad some other unthinking’ people,
who have the wit to be made tools to their designs; which are by weak-
ening the king’s interest, and bespattering all men of high station in the
church, to compass the glorious end, they are pursuing, of irreligion
and slavery. But this imputation, false and scandalous as it is, carries
a compliment with it, which the objectors did not design, when they
say, that the bishops vote always on the court side. And I will assure
you, this very virtue of constancy deserves, in this age, no small com-
mendation; for we have scen some others, who are not bishops, to
have changed sides, two or three times, since his majesty’s accession to
the crown, who never were against the king’s affairs, when any thing
was to be got by them; and always against them, when nothing was to
be lost by the opposition. But, why is it such a crime to vote on the
king's side? His affairs are not the more unjust, because he has the
happiness to be able to reward the assisters of them. Nay, I am con-
fident, though it was out of the king's power to shew any further marks
of favour, upon any of the present bishops, who are hereby calumni-
ated; the king would not have much fewer votes, from that venerable
bench, than he has. "Thereis nobody doubts, but that the archbishop
of Canterbury is as hearty in the king's interest, and gives his vote as
frequently on his side, as any of his comprovincials; and yet, I dare
say, he has no hopes of a translation, on this side heaven. And why
should we not expect a like sincerity from the rest? Methinks, their
bare gratitude to the king, for being advanced by him, should sooner
engage them to his majesty's interest, than to side with some ambitious
and disobliged men, who are known enemies both to the king, and them
too. Butthere is a higher motive, which, I am persuaded, tbe bishops
are swayed by, in giving their suffrages in parliament; and that is,
to support the present government, on which all our libertics and reli-
gion depend. And, let me tell you, Sir, for all the talk of thoughtless
and intrigueing men, the bishops have had their share, and have gone
a good way, in the securing it. ln the midst of warm disputes, they
have held such a temper and moderation, and acted with such a steady
resolution, for the support of the government, that future ages will be
bound to bless their memory forit. Therefore, upon the whole, it can
be no fault in the bishops to give their votes, with regard to the king's
interest ; unless it can be proved, that the king has any interest separate
from the church and nation; which heis so far from appearing ever to
bave had, that he has all along, under God, been the greatest pre-
server of both. But if it should please God, that this, or any other
king, should ever pursue methods contrary to the good of these: I do
verily believe, no temporal expectations will cagage men, of their good-

CLERGYMAN TO HIS BROTHER, &c. 269

ness and sincerity, to act any thing in compliance with them, that may
be inconsistent with their honour and conscience, t
= VIIL Another matter there is, which we of the gown do chiefly
quarrel with our bishops for; and that is, their hindering the clergy to
act in convocation, for cight, or ten years together; and when at last,
after a great deal of baiting, they were wearied into a concession for
‘their sitting, they were pleased to trump up a right of adjournment of
the lower house, to all times, and upon all occasions; whereby, the
whole end of their meeting is utterly defeated. But l have some reason
to be of opinion, that our grounds do not a little fail us, when we sup-
pose, that this long intermission of a convocation did proceed from any
arbitrary resolution of the bishops; for it is not improbable to think,
that this whole affair was adjusted, by wise and mature deliberation,
without any mixture of private pique and resentment, and that all due
regard was had to the case and welfare, both of church and state. The
nation had been afflicted by a long and expensive war, which afforded
neither leisure, nor sufficient maintenance for the clergy, to stay long
off from their cures in a synodical attendance. Neither was it so pro-
per to venture, then, upon any warm ecclesiastical disputes, which do
usually attend such meetings; ata time, when contests in the state had
raised men's bloods but too high already. Afterwards, since the end of
the war, upon the seeming desire of the generality of the clergy, that a
convocation should meet, they accordingly did, had several sessions,
and were going upon very commendable business in both houses. But
alas! these noble designs were blasted by a dispute, which arose about
the right of adjournments; which the members of the lower house
were prompted to claim, having found something, in a dark part of
history, and in registers, then not so exactly scanned, which seemed to
make in some measure for them. How far these few instances of ad-
journment against those multitudes, which are produced on the archbi-
shop’s side, will maintain a right: I leave those, who understand these
matters better than myself, to judge, But, if the lower house have a
night of adjourning themselves, it is a power, which their predecessors
have thought fit very seldom to claim; it is not pretended more than
two or three times, in almost as many centuries; and why should the
clergy, in our times, set such a value upon a right, which our forcta-
thers did hardly think worth the claiming in theirs? It is sufficient
to remove a bar, against their right, to have claimed it, and put them-
selves, for once, in an actual possession of it, and so to leave the nice
dispute of it, till better times ; or, if no more be said of it in our times,
they are so far from betraying a right, which our forefathers have be-
queathed us, as it is said by some, that the last convocation did as
much in that affair, as can be pretended, any of our forefathers did.
In short, there is no doubt, but that the convocation may sit and act,
if they please, for all the archbishop's power of adjourning, and the
king's right of license, upon humble desire thereof ; for neither of them
‘both have ever given any occasion to suspect, that they will be at any
time wanting to hearken to any proposals, that may be for the good of
their church and people. And, when the necessity of a ccnvocation,

270 ) A LETTER FROM A COUNTRY

„in the present conjuncture, as we all of us confess, docs press us so hard,
itis not worth while to dispute from what authority the power of their
acting or their adjournments do proceed. The lamentable growth of
irreligion, the abuses- in spiritual courts, and the very low ebb of all
ecclesiastical authority, do call aloud for synodical meetings, to con-
sider, with the utmost wisdom and application, for speedy remedies
to such growing evils. "These matters require an immediate redress,
whilst those other questions will keep cold, to a more convenient season.
Now since the archbishop had been so long in possession of the right of
adjournment, and his comprovincials have some reason to believe that
the lower house, by assuming this privilege, do prepare a way to an
equality with their order, and to be a co-ordinate power with them,
they cannot be blamed for asserting their own, and their metropolitan's
dignity; and are less I think to be accused for hindering the advantages
ofa synod, because all the advantages, which a synod. can pretend to
confer, may, upon the ancient accustomed way of application to
superiors, be obtained, without the insisting upon these claims. When
the lower house shall desire to mect upon intermediate days for dispatch
of business, and a license, by humble petition asked for, to frame
ecclesiastical laws, and these requests shall bot be gratified ; it is time
to begin a clamour then, when more reason is given to think it deserved,
than now there has been. Power, I know, is a Sweet thing; and those,
who hope to have a share in it, are wont to contend eagerly for it; and
therefore it is nu wonder, that, for this reason, the controversy is carried
on, with some warmth, on both sides; but, when common danger does
on every side threaten, prophaneness and irreligion at home, and
popery and slavery from abroad, I hope, we shall follow the example
of the gallant old Romans, who left of their squabbles among them-
selves, whenever they were attacked by their enemies, and never resumed
their contests, till they were sure, that all was so safe from without,
that a little scolding at home could not hurt them.

IX. The last prejudice which is advanced against our present bishops, .
and handed about to the detriment of their character, is their interest-
ing themselves in elections to parliament, and appearing, as is sug-
gested, for fanaticks and whigs, in opposition to those who are true
sons of the church, and well grounded in their principles teo, in re-
lation to the monarchial government of the nation.

But why, I pray, have not the bishops as good a plea to exert their
interest in their country to serve their friends, as any of the lay lords to
assist theirs? And, if there be any thing in this objection, it arraigns
the whole house of lords, as well as the bench of the bishops. The
bishops have frequent occasion to make use of the authority and friend-
ship of many of their neighbouring gentry, for the redressing hardships,
which are too frequently thrown upon some of their clergy, and for their
bestowing preferments upon others whose merits deserve further en-
couragements. And can any bishop handsomely refuse to obtain a few
votes from some of his dependants for a person, to whom he stands
obliged for services both to the church and himself? Why should the
bishops, of all the men in the nation, be abridged the privileges of
serving their friends upon such à publick occasion? Shall every petty

CLERGYMAN TO HIS BROTHER, &c. 271

freeholder, and some who have no property at all, be allowed to
canvas about for any one they have a fancy for, and must not the
bishops, who have so large estates, and so much greater prudence to
jadge of the fitness of a choice, be tied up from assisting a person of
merit in his competition? But the persons they appear for are whigs
and fanaticks. And this is all vile calumny. I do not think there can
be an instance given, in the whole nation, of a bishop's appearing for
any gentleman, but who is an habitual member of the church of Eng-
land. They have never opposed any gentleman's interest, but who has
been. of known, or, at least, suspected disaffection to the government ;
and to endeavour to keep out such, in this juncture of affairs, can need
no apology. Every hearty lover of the King and our present consti-
tution is a whig and fanatick to the jacobites ; and this is all the title
they have to those ill names, which their enemies so unkindly bestow
upon them. Now, though the common people are frequently imposed
upon by such slanderous characters, the bishops have sagacity enough
to penetrate through the artifices of malice; and cannot think it just,
that the nation should be deprived of the assistance of a member of
worth and fidelity, for the sake of a few bespattering reflexions without
.any ground.

X. And now having, I think, sufficiently vindicated our present
bishops against these imputations, by which some have endeavoured to
sully their character, I beg leave to say something farther to engage
our hearty love and esteem for them; and to let you understand that
we have reason to bless God for raising up amongst us such excellent
fathers in the church, that do so eminently adorn the high station they
are in, by all the good qualifications which are desirable for that
calling. For, as to their life and conversation, those, that are most
calumniated amongst them, have nothing that can be objected to them
upon this account; they having all along led lives of the greatest cir-
cumspection and exactness, and shewn forth shining examples of
sobriety, meekness, and charity. Neither is their learning inferior to
that of the bishops of the last age, and the books, which they have
wrote, have such a vein of reasoning, and a calmness, running through
them, as is superior to that of their predecessors. That humility,
which adorns the life of every Christian, renders theirs illustrious ; for
I will defy the memory of the present age, or the annals of the former,
to shew such a set of men, so famous for their personal qualifications,
and raised to such an eminency of station, that have shewed such an
obliging familiarity to those below them, as these bishops have done.
This, next to the grace of God, is owing, I believe, to the long and
painful discharge of their labours, in their parishes, before their pro-
motion: being thereby freed from that high kind of deportment, which
some of their predecessors have been charged with; who, having lived
mostly in the grandeur of a cathedraical dignity, were trained up to a
superiority over their rural brethren, which they did not, to be sure,
forget, as their honour increased upon them. Nay, I will venture to
say, That, when it shall please God to take to himself these good men,
whom some of us do so disesteem, it will not be easy to find a great
many amongst us, who will fill those places as well as they have cone.
; * s4

272 A LETTER, &c.

Then what a pity is it, that they who are possessed of so much personal
worth, and so much obliging condescension, should find so unkind
returns from many of their own clergy? This can proceed only from a
fore-conceiyed prejudice and misapprehension of their true character,
which arises not from any just ground, but, from being engaged in a
party, and, for that reason, unadvisedly believing all that is said in
their disparagement, If this unhandsome and ungodly custom do not
stop in good time, God knows whither it will at last carry us. The an-
cient heresies and schisms, which so sadly pestered the primitive church,
had their original from presbyters quarrelling with their bishops. This
gave arise to the heresies of Arius and Novatianus, and to the schism
of the Donatists. But I hope, the good God will afford us more grace
and wisdom than to Jet matters run so far. I do not think this humour
to be spread so very wide as to affect any great part of our clergy; the
far greater number I am persuaded do stick fast to their ancient prin-
ciples and duty, and have never ceased to pay that love and respect to
their diocesans, which our forefathers were so hearty in; and that ill
example, which some disobliged persons have set, will, I hope, be so

far from being copied, that they themselves will see their error, and be ~

sorry for it.
But I would not have you mistake me, as if I charged these faults
upon the lower house of convocation, in their disputes with the bishops ;
for though, I confess, I cannot go into opinion with them in all they
have advanced, yct they, as acting in a synodical authority, have a
privilege to remonstrate upon any grievances they think to be hard upon
them, without breach of their duty to superiors. Or, if rules of de-
cency be sometimes transgressed, the warmth of the disputes, they may
be engaged in, goes a good way in alleviation. But my business is to
silence, if I could, the reflecting talk of those, who reproach the bishops
without doors; which, though they were of the house, they have no
synodical privilege to excuse them for. for every presbyter then is
upon the level with you and me, and owe as much duty and regard to
their respective bishops, But I am afraid, there are the greatest
number of tongues running upon this theme, that have had no share in
these disputes, but what they have been pleased to take to themselves,
without being called to it. And I think it is time for all, who have
nothing to do in these matters, to be quiet, when the chief managers of
the lower house controversy, and all the worthy members of the body
now met, seem inclined to peace, and the ancient good correspond-
ence. Now these, I think, we may both of us, as occasion shall offer,
put in mind of their duty, without assuming an authority which does
not belong to us. For brotherly admonition is a common duty of
Christianity ; and therefore, to be sure, does not lie out of our way,
that have the honour to take a share in the ministerial function. For,
if you take seasonable opportunities to speak calmly upon these heads,
or others, which yourself may suggest, where you shall find need, I
doubt not, but in time, and with God's blessing, your discourse will
have its desired effect in the neighbourhood ; and, if others would take
upon them to do the like elsewhere in the nation, I am persuaded we

as we have done formerly. Thus, recommending you to the divine pro-
tection, and praying for good success in «the attempt you shall make

Ist, Of the Use of Books, and Invention of Letters.
DISCOURSE I.

ads the use of books and libraries is very ancient, appears by

many authors, both Christian and heathen, from whom it may
in some measure be gathered, that they have been in use ever since the
world began; for we read, that Jude the Apostle, in one of his epistles
quotes the book of Enoch, which was before the flood. (The words of
the epistle are: * And Enoch also, the seventh from Adam, prophesicd
of these, &c.’ So that here is a prophecy, but nothing expresly of a
book of his writing, whence a debate may arise, whether this prophecy
was not left by oral tradition, without more positive proof; but to
return to our author.) And tho’ authors differ very much concerning
the invention of letters, of which afterwards books were composed; yet
we take it for granted, that they were invented by Adam, his sons,
and grandsons, in the first age of the world, before the flood, and were
after preserved by Noah and his progeny, ull they came to Abraham,
and so to Moses; and of this opinion was St. Augustin, lib. xv. de
Civitate Dei, and Josephus, a Jewish writer of great credit, who, in

274 THE ORIGINAL OF WRITING AND: PAPER;

the first book of his antiquities; writes, That Adam's. grandsons, the.
sons of Seth, erected two pillars, the one of stone and the other of brick,
on which they left written, and engraved, all the arts discovered by
them, and he affirms he saw one of the pillars in Syria; from the which,
I am of opinion, the Egyptians afterwards learnt the way of writing,
and expressing their mysteries with those characters called hierogly-
phicks, on several obelisks, wherein Egypt formerly so much abounded,
that some of them are still to be seen in Rome, whither they were trans-
ported by the first Emperors. This is the more credible, because we
read, that Adam was by God created in so great a state of perfection,
of knowledge, and of wisdom, that he gave names to all things, accord-
ing to their nature and qualities; and that none ever so well understood
the revolutions of the heavens, the motions of the stars and planets,
and so thoroughly knew the nature of herbs, plants, animals, and all
other things inthe world, ashe did. It is therefore to be believed, that
he found out the method for preserving the memory hereof to posterity.
Pliny, in his Nat. Hist. lib. vii. cap. ult. confirms this opinion ; for
there, after delivering the sentiments of many concerning the invention
of letters, as that some pretend they were invented in Syria by the
Assyrians, and others in Egypt by Mercury; that they were brought
into Italy by the Pelasgi, and- into Greece by the Pheenicians, and
Cadmus their leader; that Palamedes, during the Trojan war, added
four more; he concludes, it is his opinion, that letters were eternal,
which is almost the same, as tosay they began with the world. Hence
it follows, that their opinion is vain, who say the Egyptians were the
inventors of letters and arts, as Diodorus Siculus holds lib. i. where he
says, that Mercury found them outin Egypt; though, in his fourth
book, he writes, that others think the Athiopians had letters before,
and the Egyptians from them. .Hence we may further infer, that
Moses was not the first inventor of letters, as some Jews and Christians
affirm, because he was ancienter than any one of those by whom they
are said to have been first found ; as Cadmus, who lived in the days
when Othoniel. governed Israel, which was forty-seven years after the
writtenlaw was given to Moses; and therefore the Egyptians learnt the
letters of him, and they communicated them to the Pheenicians, whence
Cadmus carried them into Greece, "True it is, that Attabanus and
Eupolemus, heathen authors, say, that Moses was by tle Egyptians
called Mercury, and the same that taught them letters, Thus, we see,
the invention of letters was ancienter than Philo the Jew believes it,
who says, that Abraham first found them ; for, as has been said, they
were in being even in the days of Adam and his children, and after-
wards preserved by Noah, who was a man of learning and letters, and
itisto be believed that he saved them with him in the ark; though,
after the confusion of tongues at the tower of Babel, most nations might
lose the letters, and the knowledge of them might only remain in the
family of Heber, from whom the Hebrews afterwards descended, who
lost not their first language, as St. Augustin, Eusebius, and most learned
men of our time affirm. Philo, and the rest, who thought that Moses
had been the inventor ofletters, were the more easily deceived, because
K is manifest, that the books and history writ by Moses are the

- THE ORIGINAL OF WRITING AND PAPER. 275

- ancientest in the world, or than the wisdom of the Egyptians, or the
philosophy of the Greeks, as is made out by St. Augustin and Josephus
writing against Appion the grammarian, as also by Eusebius and J ustin
Martyr: "And that there were letters before Moses is visible, because
we find it written, that he learnt in Egypt unto Pharoah the arts and
wisdom of the Egyptians; nor do I know how this could be, unless:
they had letters before, though, it is true, we know they had some cha-
racters called hieroglyphicks, by which they taught most of their sci-
ences. Howsoever it was, the invention of letters is certainly divine, as
being those that preserve aud secure all other invention, for without
them none can subsist; and they are of such worth, that they make
men immortal, rendering those things present which happened a thou-
sand years ago, and joining those which are distant, communicating
them, as if they were not asunder. By them are known and learnt all
sorts of sciences, teaching those im being all that past ages knew, and
preserving for posterity all that those now ; living found out. In short, the
benefit of them is almost infinite and inexpressible, and therefore their
invention may deservedly be called rather divinethan human. What or-
der was observed in the characters of ancient times, methinks is not to
be sought after, as depending on the will and pleasure of tlie inventor ;
as we daily see is done by those who frame cyphers or characters, and
other sorts of common letters, who observe no order. It is true they
were, in proeess of time, for the more distinction, put into that order we
now see them: And, because many afterwards successively added other
letters, or made new characters, therefore many were thought the iri-
ventors of them ; of whom we shall speak to purpose hereafter, when
we come to discourse of the pictures in the Vatican library, among
which are those, of. all such as were famous in the world for the in-
vention of letters, or for adding any to them.

of the Paper of the Ancients, of the Papurus of the Romans, of the seve-
ral sorts of it, and of the Paper of our Times.

DISCOURSE II.

HAVING hitherto discoursed of the letters, it will now be conveni-
ent to say something of paper, as the matter on which they are made;
"and, to speak the truth, itis no small difficulty to decide what they
writ on in former ages, because we have no account in history what
they did write on betore the flood, but what we said before, that Adam's
grandchildren, the sons of Seth, ‘writ an account of arts on those two
pillars abovementioned. After the flood, all authors agree that men
had no paper, but writ on the leaves of palm trees, whence, to this

day, those of books are called leaves. Next they writ on the fine bark
of trees, and particularly on that sort which slips off easiest ; such as
the elder, the plane, the ash, and the elm; and these were the inward
films, which grow between the bark and the wood, which, being curi-
ously taken off, were joined together, and books made of them ; and,
because tbis film in Latin is called liber, thence the same name was
given to a book, though now they are not made of tbat substance.
The wit of man, which still improved, after this found out a way of
writing on the thinnest sheets of lead, of which private people made
books and pillars. Next, the ancients found the way of writing on
linnen-cloths slicked and waxed, on which they writ, not. with a pen,
hut with a small cane or reed, as some write to this day. And, as
Pliny tells us, we find in Homer, that these waxed cloths were used
before the time of the Trojans ; and Mutianus, who, as he writes himself,
was thrice consul, that, when he was president in Lycia, he read there,
in a temple, a letter writ on one of these cloths by Sarpedon, king of
Lycia, then at Troy, where he assisted Priam in his war against the
Greeks, and was at last killed by Patroclus. In process of time, the
method was found out of writing ou parchment made of sheep-skins,
mentioned by Herodotus, lib. vit. the. invention whereof Varro assigns
to the people of Pergamus, a city in Asia, on the banks of the river
Caicus, whereof Eumenes was king, and from that city it was called
. Pergamenum, which we have corrupted to parchment. Pliny says,
this Eumenes first sent it to Rome; but Elianus says it was Attalus,
king of the same country, who first sent it. Josephus, the Jew, makes
the writing on parchment ancienter, and says, the books of the Jews,
so much ancienter than Eumenes, and. the rest of that sort, were
writ upon skins; and relates, that when Eleazer, the high priest, sent
the books of the holy scripture to Ptolemy by the Septuagint, to be
translated out of Hees into Greek, king Ptolemy Philadelphus was
much amazed at the fineness of those skins or parchment; so that
writing on them was easier and more lasting than the ancienter use of
barks and leaves of trees; and it is to be believed, this invention was
not yet in Egypt, since Ptolemy wondered at it. After this, there was
found a sort of paper made of a rush, or plant, called Papyrus, grow-
ing in the marshes, about the river Nile, though Pliny says there are
some of them in Syria, near the river Euphrates. These rushes bear
small leaves betwixt the outward rhind and the pith, which, being
neatly opened with the point of a needle, and then prepared with fine
flour and other ingredients, served to write on and made paper, the in-
nermost part making the finest, and, according to the several sorts, it
had several names, and was put to sundry uses; being from this rush
called. Papyrus, which name has continued to our days, and is given
to our paper, though made of rags, because this serves for the same
uses as that did. | saw one of these rushes at Rome, which was shew-
ed me by that worthy gentleman Castor Durante, of happy memory,
my master ja the college, who told me it came from Egypt; and he
had it from: Padua, sent him by Signior Cortuso, a man excellently
learned in simples, of whom he had got other more strange and rare

THE ORIGINAL OF WRITING AND PAPER. 277

things, as I have several times seen myself, and particularly a sheet of
this papyrus, or paper, made of that rush.

The first invention of making paper of this rush, Varro affirms, was
in the days of Alexander the Great, when Alexandria was founded ;
but Pliny proves it was ancienter, by the books which Gn. Tarentinus
found in his vineyard ina marble chest on the hill Janiculus, in which
were also the bones of Numa Pompilius. These books were of the
papyrus, and it is certain that Numa Pompilius was long before Alex-
ander, The Romans had several sorts of this paper; one of them was
called hieratica, as Pliny writes, and only dedicated to religious books,
which afterwards, through flattery, took Augustus’s name, and was
called Augustana, as the second sort from his wife Livia was called
Liviana, as among us there is now imperial and royal paper. There
was another sort called Amphitheatrica, from the place where it was
made, being about the amphitheatre; and the first that began to make
this paper in Rome was one Fannius, who brouglit it to such fineness,
that, whereas before it was for common use, it became equal with the
best and took his name, being called Fanniana, whereas that, which
was not so curiously prepared, kept its old name of Amphitheatrica ;
and these were the best sorts of paper in those days. Afterwards
came the Saitica, so named from a city where it was made, where
there was great abundance of the papyrus, and this was made
of the worst part of it. There was still another sort made of the
outward part next the rhind, and called Teniotica, from the place
where it was made, which was sold rather by weight than by choice.
Lastly, there was the Emporetica, answerable to our brown or wrap-
ping-paper, unfit for writing, and only used to make. covers for the other
paper, and to wrap up goods, therefore called shop-paper. All these
sorts of paper were different from one another, for the best was thirteen
inches broad, the hieratica two inches less, the fanniana of ten, and
the amphitheatrica two narrower; the saitica still less, and the coarse
emporetica not above six. Besides, Augustus's paper was in great es-
teem for its whiteness, as well as its smoothness, but was so thin, it
would scarce bear the pen; besides that, it sunk, and the letters ap-
peared through it; and therefore, in the reign of Claudius Czsar, it
lost the first place, and another sort was made, from him called Clau-
dia, which was preferred before all the others, and the Augusta was
reserved for writing of imperial letters. The Livian paper kept its rank,
having nothing of the first, but, in all respects, like the second. This
sort of paper, made of papyrus, the Romans used a long time, on
which many books were writ; and, as Pliny informs us, there were, in
his times, abundance of volumes of Caius, and Tiberius Gracchus, of
Cicero, of Augustus, and of Virgil.

That this paper was good and lasting, appears by what was said
above of Numa's books, found in the consulship of P. Cornelius, L.F.
Cethegus, M. Balbius, and Q. F. Pamphilius; and, from the reign of
Numa till their time, we find there passed five-hundred and thirty-five
years, it being wonderful they should last so long without rotting, es-
pecially having been all that while buried under ground, Authors dif-

fer very much about the number of these books, for some, as Livy, say,
they were two, and found by Lucius Petilius; -of which opinion are
Lactantiusand Plutarch, in the Life of Numa. Others say they were
fourteen, seven of the pontifical laws, and the other seven of the pre-
cepts of Pythagorean philosophy ; others say they were twelve, as
Varro in his book of Antiquities. Tuditanus, lib. ii. writes, they were
thirteen of Numa’s decretals, yet Antia affirms, there were two Latin,
one of the pontifical rites, and as many Greek of Pythagorean philoso-
phy, and were therefore burnt by Q. Petulius the pretor. Certain it is,
that the invention of paper, made of the rush papyrus, continued long
among the Romans, and very many books were writ on it by several
authors, as has been said above.

In the last place was found out the paper of our days, a most noble
invention, which has,afforded the opportunity of writing and publish-
ing.a vast quantity of books. It is made of linnen rags beaten to
atoms ; and it is wonderful that so mean a thing should perpetuate and
immortalise the memorable. actions of men. It is made in all parts of
the world, and of, several. sorts, great and small, and so white and curi-
ous, that nothing can exceed it... On this, as the most perfect, are print-
ed so. many volumes.as are daily seen, laying aside, the papyrus, the
parchment, and all others, which gave occasion to the finding. out of
this.in our forefathers days,

The following narration has in part been eopied both by Hollingshead
and Camden, yet not without the omission of several useful and ne-
cessary particulars to illustrate this part of the English history;
which may be supplied by preserving this true and genuine ac-
count, as there is sufficient reason to suppose was published by au-
thority. : n

When this traytor was brought upon his tryal, he denied what he had
confessed at his examination, affirming, as Stow relates, that he had
invented it on purpose to avoid the rack. But, says Camden, after
his condemnation, upon the evidence of his own letters to the queen
of Scots, and the papers found in his coffers, he owned all, and even
made a more circumstantial declaration than at fust; and yet, in fa-
vour to the queen of Scots, lest such a confession should influence
the people against her liberty, he again retracted and denied what-
ever he had confessed ; to discover which prevarication, and to pre-
vent any misapprehensions of the justice of his tryal and exe-
cution, this followrng true and faithful account was published.

To the Reader.

There is in this short discourse deliuered vnto thee, gentle reader,
a true report of the treasons and practises of Francis Throckmorton,
and his complices against the queenes maiestie and the realme; which
comming to my bandes by chance from a gentleman, to whom it was
sent into the countrey, I haue presumed to commit the same to the
print, to the ende that such as in opinion and conceite are not satisfied,

A DISCOUERIE OF THE TREASONS, &c. 281

~ touching the matters proued against him, and the course of proceeding -
helde with him, might, by the sight thereof, if trueth-and reason may
perswade them, bee resolued of all such doubts and scruples as haue
risen by the variable reportes made of the qualitie of his offences, and
the maner of dealing vsed towards him ; for the better knowledge where-
of; I referre thee to » the declaration following, and so commit thee to
God.

A letter sent from a Gentleman of Lions-Inne, to his Friend, con-
cer ning Francis Thi 'ockmorton, who was PA Gate and condemned of
high treason.

YR, with my last letters of the first of June, I sent vnto you
in writing the arraignement of Francis Throckmorton, penned
by a gentleman of good skill and credite, being present at the samey
and, because it hath seemed vnto me, that here is some scruple in
your conceite touching the sufficiencie of the ecuidence produced
against him, I haue, for your better: satisfaction, endeauoured to at-
taine to more particular, knowledge thereof, and by the meanes of a
secret friend, there is come vnto my hands a verie perfect declaration
of the wholé proceedings, helde by such as were in commission for the
examining of him, before his triall, containing the material] points of
the treasons by him confessed; eri there is annexed a submis-
sion written by Francis Throckmorton to the queenes maiestie, the
fourth of June, whereby he acknowledgeth that he hath vntruly and
vnduetifully denied his former confessions, and vnder his own hand
writing hath eftsoones repeated and confessed the same confessions to
be true (some fewe things onely detracted, but of no moment) which
may in mine opinion remooue all matter of doubt or scruple con-
ceiued by you or by any other of his iust condemnation. You know
howe well I have always loued the man, and delighted to converse
with him in respect of the good partes, wherewith he was indued, and
of the pleasant humour that for the most part did possesse him when
hee came in companie of friendes, yeelding at no time (to my seeing)
any shew or suspition, to haue been a dealer in matters of that qua-
lity; and therefore, I cannot but pitie his misfortune the more, wish-
ing all men to make profite of his 'fal, and to note, that miserie and
calamitie of this kinde doeth for the most part followe such as forget
God, to whose protection I committe you.

Your assured friend,

THE TRUE COPY OF A LETTER,

SENT FROM

\

The most Reverend William Lord Archbishop of Canterbury, to the Uni-
versity of Oxford, when he resigned his Office of Chancellor.

Published, by occasion of a base Libel and Forgery, that runs under
this Title. And also the Answer of the University to the said
Letter. i

Oxford, printed by Leonard Lichfield, Printer to the University, Anno Dom.
1641. Quarto, containing twelve Pages, B

m ÀÀ
—

To my very loving Friends, the Vice-Chancellor, the Doctors, the Proctors,
and the rest of the Convocation of the University of Oxford.

i: my hearty commendations, &c. these are to remember my

love to that whole body: that loye, than which never any chan-
cellor bore greater, or with more ferventness and zeal to the publick
good and happiness of that place, And I do heartily pray all, and every
of you to believe me, for most true it is, that the unfortunateness of my
affliction doth not trouble me for any one thing more, than that I can
be no farther useful or beneficial to that place, which I so much love
and honour.

I was once resolved not to resign my place of chancellor, till I saw
the issue of my troubles one way or other. And this resolution I took,
partly because I had no reason to desert myself, and occasion the world
to think me guilty: and partly, because I have found so much love
from the university, that I could not make myself willing to leave it,
till some greater cause should take me off from that which I so re-
solved on.

That cause, ifl be not much mistaken, doth now present itself:
for I see the university hath great need of friends, great and daily need.
I see my trial not hastened; so that Lam neither able to assist your
great occasions myself, nor procure friends for them; I see that, if
. you had another chancellor, you could not want the help which now
you do. And I cannot but know that, were your love never so great
to me, it must needs cool, when you see me able to give no assistance,
and yet fill the place which should afford it to you. And I should
hardly satisfy myself, thát I love you so well as I do, if I did not fur-
ther your good and happiness by all the means I can, and even by this
my resignation.

*-

THE ARCHBISHOP OF CANTERBURY LETTER, &c. 9893

The serious consideration of ind things, and the foresight which I
have, that I shall never be able to serve you as I have done, have pre-
vailed with me at this time, to send the resignation of the chancellorship,
to your body met in convocation, And Ido hereby pray you, that it
may be publickly read and accepted, the time being now most fit, that
so your honourable succeeding chancellor may presently appoint an
able deputy for the government “according to his own judgment.

And now I do earnestly desire of you “all, either to remember, or. to
know, that I never sought, or thought of the honour of this place to
myself; and yet, that, since it- was by the great favour and love of that
university laid upon me, I have discharged it, by God's grace and good-
ness to me, with great pains and care, eem God's blessing, I humbly
thank him, hath not been wanting. And I profess singly, and from my
heart, if there be any good which I ought to have done to that place,
and have not done it, it proceeded from ‘want of understanding or ability,
not will or affection. And though I do, for che causes aforesaid, resign
this place, yet I shall serve it still with my prayers, so long as God con-
tinues my life.

And asI doubt not, but God will bless you with an honourable
chancellor, and one able to do more for that place, than I have been ;
so I pray God, to give you a peaceable and quiet election, and to
direct it to the good of this his church, and the honour and happiness of
that famous university: that you may have no miss in the least of me,

who, after your prayers heartily desired, now writes himself the last
time,

From the Tower, June
25, 1641. Your very loving poor Friend

and Chancellor,

W. CANT.
